모야모야병 환자에서 뇌졸중 후 발생한 정신증 1예

초록

This paper reports a patient with Moyamoya disease who developed a psychotic disorder following a stroke. A 47-year-old female with Moyamoya disease without a psychiatric history experienced persecutory delusion and auditory hallucinations after eight months of intracranial hemorrhage in the right temporal lobe. The adult was managed with low-dose antipsychotics, risperidone. A brief Psychiatric Rating Scale was performed weekly after hospitalization, and psychotic symp toms eventually were under control after three weeks following the initiation of psychotropic medication. This case suggests that low-dose antipsychotics would be effective in patients with psychosis newly developed from a stroke secondary to Moyamoya disease.
