Until recently, hysteria was believed to be uncommon amongst the indigenous inhabitants of tropical Africa. Though snake bites are common, there has not been any previous report of hysterical manifestations following snake bite. We report a case of hysterical paralysis in a nulliparous Nigerian female, with comments on its diagnostic and prognostic implications in an ethnic community.
直到最近，人们还认为癔症在热带非洲的原住民中并不常见。虽然蛇咬伤很常见，但以前没有关于蛇咬伤后出现癔症表现的报告。我们报告一例未生育的尼日利亚女性癔症性瘫痪病例，并对其在一个种族社区中的诊断和预后意义进行评论。
