Pilomotor seizures.
A 44-year-old man had frequent episodes of piloerection, or " gooseflesh ." Clinical and EEG evidence suggested that the attacks were pilomotor seizures, originating in the right temporal lobe. The cause was a glioblastoma. Paroxysmal piloerection is a rare manifestation of epilepsy.[1]References
