Psychotic phenomena such as delusions and hallucinations are rare in frontotemporal dementia syndromes but have recently been recognised as an early feature in some cases of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with motor neurone disease (FTLD/MND). A patient with delusion of pregnancy as an early feature of FTLD/MND is presented to illustrate the need to consider neurodegenerative disease as well as primary psychiatric disorder as the underlying cause of this striking symptom.
妄想和幻觉等精神病性现象在额颞叶痴呆综合征中较为罕见,但最近已被确认为某些伴有运动神经元病的额颞叶变性(FTLD/MND)病例的早期特征。本文报告了一名以妊娠妄想为FTLD/MND早期特征的患者,以说明需要将神经退行性疾病以及原发性精神障碍视为这一显著症状的潜在病因。
