We describe a patient with memory complaints whose history of head injury, polysubstance abuse and positive neurological findings suggested the presence of dementia. Neuropsychological testing revealed inconsistent performance plus multiple verbal and visuospatial approximate answers leading to the diagnosis of a Ganser episode. This case illustrates the importance of neuropsychological assessment in diagnosing Ganser symptoms and in differentiating this disorder from organic conditions and malingering.
我们描述了一位有记忆障碍主诉的患者,其头部受伤史、多种物质滥用情况以及阳性神经学检查结果提示存在痴呆。神经心理学测试显示表现不一致,加上多个言语和视觉空间近似答案,从而诊断为甘塞尔综合征发作。该病例说明了神经心理学评估在诊断甘塞尔症状以及将这种疾病与器质性疾病和诈病相鉴别方面的重要性。
