Lycanthropy is an unusual belief or delusion in which the patient thinks that he/she has been transformed into an animal. In rare cases, the patient believes that another person has been transformed into an animal.
We report a patient with an uncommon variant of lycanthropy is introduced. The symptoms appeared after consumption of ecstasy. This shows the occurrences of uncommon and rare psychosis after ecstasy drug use especially in patients susceptible to schizophrenia. Ecstasy drug can induce paranoid psychosis similar to schizophrenia. In the presented case, ecstasy seemed to have a role in patient's underlying susceptibility to schizophrenia.
变狼妄想症是一种不寻常的信念或妄想，患者认为自己已变成动物。在罕见情况下，患者认为他人已变成动物。
我们报告了一名患有变狼妄想症罕见变体的患者。症状在服用摇头丸后出现。这表明使用摇头丸后会出现罕见的精神病，尤其是在易患精神分裂症的患者中。摇头丸可诱发类似于精神分裂症的偏执性精神病。在本病例中，摇头丸似乎在患者对精神分裂症的潜在易感性中起了作用。
