Seventy cases each of temporal lobe epilepsy and grand mal epilepsy were studied for their sexual functioning. The two groups were similar as regards age, sex, duration of illness, frequency of seizures and menstrual and marital history. A significantly greater number of temporal lobe epileptics were found to be hyposexual. They had a global loss of performance and interest in the sexual sphere and showed no concern over it. One case in the group of temporal lobe eiplepsy, as against none in the other group, was hypersexual. There were no cases of sexual deviations in either of the groups. The findings of the study are discussed in the light of the relevant literature.
对70例颞叶癫痫患者和70例癫痫大发作患者的性功能进行了研究。两组在年龄、性别、病程、癫痫发作频率以及月经和婚姻史方面相似。结果发现，颞叶癫痫患者中性欲减退的人数明显更多。他们在性方面整体表现和兴趣丧失，且对此毫不在意。颞叶癫痫组中有1例性欲亢进，而另一组中则没有。两组均未出现性偏差病例。根据相关文献对该研究结果进行了讨论。
