A 59-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with the history of epileptick attack of six years' duration. The seizure was associated with Jacksonian march starting in the right hand and then generalized. Todd's paresis of the right arm followed occasionally to the seizure. He was admitted to neurosurgical unit of other hospital in 1968 and 1971, but on each occasion no tumor or vascular abnormality was detected by extensive examinations such as brain angiography, pneumoencephalography or brain scanning. He continued his job as an engineer with anticonvulsant. He once lived in Manchuria in 1930s and had history of pulmonary tuberculosis.
