Mania occurs sometimes in association with an organic condition affecting the brain. A case of a 15-year-old girl with secondary mania related to multiple sclerosis is described, along with a selective review of the subject. The English-language literature published from 1986 to 1994 was reviewed, but geriatric and mentally retarded cases were excluded. This case points out that organic causes, often multifactorial, have to be kept in mind when treating patients who have mania.
躁狂症有时与影响大脑的器质性疾病相关。本文描述了一例15岁继发于多发性硬化症的躁狂症女孩病例,并对该主题进行了选择性综述。回顾了1986年至1994年发表的英文文献,但排除了老年和智力迟钝病例。该病例指出,在治疗躁狂症患者时,必须考虑到往往是多因素的器质性病因。
