Kluver-Bucy syndrome: A morbid consequences of post herpes simplex encephalitis
Kluver-Bucy syndrome (KBS) is a neuropsychiatric behavioral disorder that is most commonly associated with damage to both of the anterior temporal lobes of the brain. Most commonly it is due to infection of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE). Although computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imag...

Although computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) suggest the injury to the temporal region of brain, the definitive diagnosis is only established by the finding of the viral antigen in brain.
