Klüver-Bucy syndrome [KBS] is a neurobehavioral disorder, less frequently reported in neurotrauma patients. We report a case of post-traumatic Klüver-Bucy syndrome in a young patient who had moderate head injury. Patient had symptoms of hyperorality, hypersexuality, placidity and dietary changes. Patient improved with conservative treatment. Only few cases of post-traumatic KBS are reported in literature. According to available reports this is first case of post-traumatic KBS being reported from India.
