The role of claustrum in epilepsy has been documented in animal models. However, no studies of its electrographic activity in humans during hippocampal epileptic seizures exist. The purpose of the present short communication is to show the interictal, ictal, and postictal intracranial electrographic recording of the claustrum in a patient with right temporal lobe epilepsy. A 15-year-old patient with refractory focal temporal lobe epilepsy is presented. Intracranial recording and wavelet transform analysis show a particular background and ictal pattern of claustrum during a hippocampal seizure. In conclusion, this report suggests the possible involvement of the claustrum in temporal lobe epileptic seizures in humans.
