A middle-aged man presented with Ganser symptoms. He had been involved in a car crash and was seeking disability insurance benefits. Extensive testing with malinger instruments revealed that he performed below chance on simple memory tests and endorsed a variety of nonexistent symptoms. With this in mind, the authors collected collateral information which showed that the patient was involved in high level sports activities that were difficult to reconcile with the severe cognitive dysfunctions that he claimed to suffer from. The case demonstrates that Ganser-like symptoms deserve close scrutiny, preferably with malinger tests.
一名中年男子出现了刚塞综合征症状。他曾遭遇车祸，正在申请残疾保险福利。使用诈病检测工具进行的广泛测试显示，他在简单记忆测试中的表现低于随机水平，并认可了各种不存在的症状。考虑到这一点，作者收集了旁证信息，结果表明该患者参与了高水平的体育活动，这与他声称所患的严重认知功能障碍难以相符。该病例表明，类似刚塞综合征的症状值得仔细审查，最好使用诈病测试。
