Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a severe and disabling psychiatric disorder that impacts people all around the world. OCD has several different phenotypes, with intrusive visual images being a presentation of the disease. In this paper, a case is presented of a patient who suffers from intrusive visual images of a large spider and octopus with visualization of the tentacle on her body. These visual images were identified as a symptom of OCD; therefore, this paper aims to present this unique presentation of the disease.
