Last month’s teaching file:
Query: A 13 years old presents with progressive tremors, poor scholastic performance, repeated episodes of falls with loss of consciousness, visual hallucinations, diplopia and slurred speech. A neurological opinion taken was suggestive of schizophrenia. Is the diagnosis of schizophrenia correct?
Answer: The diagnosis of schizophrenia is not correct as the child had visual hallucinations. Visual hallucinations are always organic in etiology. In schizophrenia, the common hallucinations are auditory and persecutive. The child was found to have SSPE (Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis). Discuss this case further in the section of “DISCUSSION GROUPS”.
