Epileptic Disord. 2006 Dec;8(4):295-7.

Polyopia is the visual perception of multiple images of a single visual stimulus. Cerebral polyopia has previously been described as an ictal phenomenon associated with temporal lobe seizures. We report the case of a man with multiple cavernous angiomas and occipital lobe seizures manifesting as cerebral polyopia.
