RÉSUMÉ

ABSTRACT The atypical form of Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration (PKAN) tends to present at around the age of 14 years, has a heterogeneous presentation with extrapyramidal symptoms, and approximately one third of patients exhibit psychiatric problems. This paper reports the case of a patient with apparent typical symptoms of Tourette syndrome. However, the severity and poor response to treatment led to further investigation and the diagnosis of PKAN as a secondary cause of Tourettism was reached.


RESUMO A forma atípica de PKAN costuma se apresentar por volta dos 14 anos de idade, possui uma sintomatologia heterogênea, com sintomas extrapiramidais e, em cerca de um terço dos pacientes, também com a manifestação de sintomas psiquiátricos. O presente artigo relata o caso de uma paciente com sintomatologia típica da Síndrome de Tourette à primeira vista. Entretanto, a gravidade do quadro e pouca resposta ao tratamento levaram a uma maior investigação e ao diagnóstico de PKAN como causa secundária do Tourettismo.

RÉSUMÉ

Although not evident clinically, lesions to the prefrontal cortex cause great social and functional impairment to patients. The anterior cingulate cortex is intimately involved with motivational behavior and after injury to this area the onset of an apathetic state can be observed. This paper describes the case of a patient with traumatic brain injury to the prefrontal lobe presenting with a depressive syndrome associated with apathetic symptoms. After appropriate treatment for depression, intense apathy was revealed, an irreversible sequelae of the traumatic brain injury, constituting the main barrier to the patient's return of lifestyle and independence.


Apesar de não se destacarem ao olhar clínico, as lesões do córtex pré-frontal acarretam grande prejuízo funcional e social aos pacientes. O córtex do cíngulo anterior está intimamente envolvido com o comportamento motivacional e o que se observa após um dano a esta região é a instalação de um estado apático. Este trabalho visa relatar o caso de um paciente com lesão traumática do lobo pré-frontal que apresentou uma síndrome depressiva associada a sintomas apáticos. Após tratamento adequado da depressão foi possível perceber intensa apatia, sequela irreversível do traumatismo crânio encefálico, que se constituiu como principal obstáculo ao retorno do estilo de vida e independência do paciente.

RÉSUMÉ

We tested the hypothesis that Part B of the Trail Making Test (TMT) is a measure of cognitive set-shifting ability in 55 normal subjects with the conventional (written) TMT and a verbal adaptation, the "verbal TMT" (vTMT). The finding of a significant association between Parts B of TMT and vTMT (r = 0,59, p < 0,001), after correcting for age and education, supports the view that Part B of TMT is a valid measure of the ability to alternate between cognitive categories

RÉSUMÉ

The present paper reports the long-term use of clozapine in a prospective sample of 46 chronic schizophrenics. In six months, 21 subjects had been excluded for a number of reasons. In four of them the reasons for exclusion were related to lack of response or adverse effects. The median daily clozapine dose was 400 mg in the remaining 25 patients. As a whole, there were remarkable improvements in core dimensions of psychopathology, global cognitive status, and level of functioning. We confirmed that clozapine is effective in a subgroup of schizophrenics with the severest forms of the disease. If tolerated after the first few months it leads to progressive gains in several domains of behavior. Clozapine should be tried in every patient with schizophrenia in whom positive symptoms, disorganization, or bizarre behavior are a matter of incapacitation despite efforts to keep them under control with other drugs.

RÉSUMÉ

Os autores relatam um caso de intoxicaçäo pelo lítio em um paciente jovem, em uso regular de 1,5 g de carbonato de lítio diários, nível sérico estabilizado em 0,9mEq/1. A paciente vinha usando o carbonato de lítio há três meses. Coincidindo com uma piodermite aguda em membro inferior direito e 24 horas de uso de ampicilina (2g), a paciente apresentou quadro clínico e laboratorial de intoxicaçäo pelo lítio. Discutem-se as causas da intoxicaçäo e eventual associaçäo desta com a piodermite e o uso de ampicilina
