    The neural basis for epilepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is currently incompletely known. We reported a young girl with both epilepsy and ADHD, who had a calcified lesion in the right basolateral amygdalo-hippocampal region extending to the ventral striatum. The child underwent disconnecting surgery and biopsy of the lesion. Fascinatingly, the child's behavior changed immediately after the surgery from inattentive and impulsive to nearly normal behavior experiencing no more breakthrough seizures since after 3 years of surgery. The Schaltenbrand Wahren Brain Atlas revealed alveus, cornu ammonis, amygdala superficialis, and medium as the disconnected region in this surgery.
