Br J Neurosurg. 2014 Apr;28(2):276-7. doi: 10.3109/02688697.2013.817530. Epub 2013 Jul 25.

Abstract

'Goose-bumps' seizures are rare manifestations of epilepsy. They are rarely reported by patients and can be easily dismissed by clinicians. Clinically, it carries some diagnostic localising value especially with unilateral onset. In this report, we present a case of intraventricular glioblastoma multiforme with ipsilateral goose bumps and review the literature.
