Although generally regarded as a disease of young adults, schizophrenia does occur in older ages. Doubts have been raised about the validity of diagnosing schizophrenia in very old age. We have described herein a rare and unique case of a woman who had onset of "schizophrenia" as per ICD-10 and DSM-IV-TR criteria at the age of 100 years. We have discussed about the validity of diagnosing schizophrenia in older age.
尽管精神分裂症通常被认为是一种青年病，但它也会发生在老年时期。人们对在非常高龄时诊断精神分裂症的有效性提出了质疑。本文描述了一个罕见而独特的病例，一位女性按照 ICD-10 和 DSM-IV-TR 标准在 100 岁时发病“精神分裂症”。我们还讨论了在老年时诊断精神分裂症的有效性。
