Bipolar disorder (BD) has been linked with the manifestation of catatonia in subjects with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (IBGC) is characterized by movement disorders and various neuropsychiatric disturbances including mood disorder.
We present a patient with ASD and IBGC who developed catatonia presenting with prominent dystonic feature caused by comorbid BD, which was treated effectively with quetiapine.
In addition to considering the possibility of neurodegenerative disease, careful psychiatric interventions are important to avoid overlooking treatable catatonia associated with BD in cases of ASD presenting with both prominent dystonic features and apparent fluctuation of the mood state.
双相情感障碍(BD)与自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者的紧张症表现有关。特发性基底节钙化(IBGC)的特征是运动障碍和包括情绪障碍在内的各种神经精神障碍。
我们报告一名患有ASD和IBGC的患者,该患者因合并BD而出现具有明显肌张力障碍特征的紧张症,使用喹硫平治疗有效。
除了考虑神经退行性疾病的可能性外,对于同时具有明显肌张力障碍特征和明显情绪状态波动的ASD病例,谨慎的精神科干预对于避免忽视与BD相关的可治疗性紧张症很重要。
