Because of the way of life Greek philosopher Diogenes lived, in the medical literature some older individuals characterized with collection of symptoms and the psychopathology associated with the lack of concern about a person's living conditions were called as Diogenes Syndrome. In this study we presented a case in terms of Diogenes Syndrome. We aimed to discuss by using the recent medical literature. Our case was a 62 year old male living alone and there were a variety of diseases he had. Diogenes Syndrome was previously identified in 30 elderly patients for the first time in 1975. As well as the typical clinical features of Diogenes Syndrome were defined, for being of potential forensic value, case characteristics belonging to the crime scene, and also probable changes that may be encountered at autopsy were discussed.
由于希腊哲学家第欧根尼的生活方式，在医学文献中，一些以一系列症状和与对个人生活条件缺乏关注相关的精神病理学为特征的老年人被称为第欧根尼综合征。在本研究中，我们报告了一例第欧根尼综合征病例。我们旨在利用最新的医学文献进行讨论。我们的病例是一名62岁独居男性，他患有多种疾病。第欧根尼综合征于1975年首次在30名老年患者中被发现。除了定义了第欧根尼综合征的典型临床特征外，还讨论了属于犯罪现场的病例特征以及尸检时可能遇到的可能变化，因其具有潜在的法医价值。
