The demographic and clinical characteristics of our sample are given in Tab 1. There were no differences in age, sex and epilepsy-related features between groups. The vast majority of the patients had temporal lobe epilepsy (n = 38/42), and near two-thirds of them (63.16%) had been diagnosed with a right seizure focus (left, n = 14; right, n = 24). Although all patients had an IQ of 75 or higher, those in the psychotic group had lower IQ and educational level compared with their nonpsychotic counterparts. Psychopathology scores in the psychotic groups are also shown in Tab 1. All patients recruited for this study who had hallucinatory behavior reported verbal auditory type of hallucinations.
