Cotard's syndrome is a rare neuropsychiatric condition in which the patient denies existence of one's own body to the extent of delusions of immortality. One of the consequences of Cotard's syndrome is self-starvation because of negation of existence of self. Although Cotard's syndrome has been reported to be associated with various organic conditions and other forms of psychopathology, it is less often reported to be seen in patients with catatonia. In this report we present two cases of Cotard's syndrome, both of whom had associated self-starvation and nutritional deficiencies and one of whom had associated catatonia.
科塔尔综合征是一种罕见的神经精神疾病，患者会否认自身身体的存在，甚至产生不朽妄想。科塔尔综合征的后果之一是自我饥饿，因为患者否定自我的存在。尽管据报道科塔尔综合征与各种器质性疾病和其他形式的精神病理学有关，但在紧张症患者中较少见。在本报告中，我们呈现了两例科塔尔综合征患者，他们都伴有自我饥饿和营养缺乏，其中一例还伴有紧张症。
