The authors present a patient with multiple pontine lesions who exhibited symptoms consistent with delusional parasitosis. The trigeminal nerve nuclei are located throughout the brainstem. Pathology in either the nuclei or the branches of the fifth cranial nerve has been associated with both sensory and motor disturbances. Delusional parasitosis is a condition in which the patient has the firm belief that small, living organisms have infested his or her skin or other organs. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of delusional parasitosis associated with lesions at the root of the trigeminal nerve.
作者报告了一名患有多个脑桥病变的患者,其表现出与妄想性寄生虫病相符的症状。三叉神经核位于整个脑干。第五对脑神经的核或分支出现病变均与感觉和运动障碍有关。妄想性寄生虫病是一种患者坚信有小的生物体侵入其皮肤或其他器官的病症。据我们所知,这是首例与三叉神经根病变相关的妄想性寄生虫病病例报告。
