摘　　要：Introduction:Hypersalivation has been associated with Rolandic epilepsy and other childhood epilepsy syndromes.However,pure salivatory seizures are a rare type of focal seizure in which ictal hypersalivation is the dominant feature throughout the seizures.Case presentation:We present a case of pure salivatory seizures originating from the right post-central operculum cortex,confirmed by the favorable surgical outcome.We attempt to analyze the symptom from behavioral and neural network perspectives and propose a possible mechanism to generate ictal hypersalivation and pure salivatory seizures.Conclusion:Based on previous reports in the literature and our case,we emphasize the importance of the operculum in patients with ictal hypersalivation,particularly in patients with pure salivatory seizures.
