Dissociative fugue is a psychiatric disorder characterized by amnesia coupled with sudden unexpected travel away from the individual's usual surroundings and denial of all memory of his or her whereabouts during the period of wandering. Dissociative fugue is a rare disorder that is infrequently reported. Before now, no case of it had been reported in a medical student.
This article focuses on the report of a case of dissociative fugue symptoms in a 28-year-old male Nigerian medical student.
The observation in this case report brings to the fore that dissociative fugue is often related to stressful life events and can comorbid with a depressive disorder.
分离性神游症是一种精神障碍,其特征为失忆,同时伴有突然意外地离开个人的日常环境,并否认在游荡期间对自己行踪的所有记忆。分离性神游症是一种罕见的疾病,鲜有报道。在此之前,尚未有医学生患此病的病例报告。
本文重点报告一名28岁的尼日利亚男医学生出现分离性神游症症状的病例。
本病例报告中的观察结果凸显出,分离性神游症通常与生活应激事件有关,且可能与抑郁症并发。
