Post-stroke mania has rarely been noted and researched, and reported cases have mostly involved the non-dominant hemisphere. In this paper, we report a case of bipolar disorder secondary to a stroke over the dominant hemisphere.
A 48-year-old, right-handed man had a cerebral infarct over the left temporal region. He became depressed after the stroke, and 4 months later developed a manic episode.
The patient was treated with haloperidol and lorazepam.
The symptoms subsided within 2 months after treatment.
It is premature to consider mania to be a syndrome of the right, or non-dominant, hemisphere. We suggest that further study focusing on specific anatomical regions, rather than laterality, will help to elucidate the interrelationship between mood and brain function.
中风后躁狂很少被关注和研究,且报告的病例大多累及非优势半球。在本文中,我们报告一例继发于优势半球中风的双相情感障碍病例。
一名48岁右利手男性,左侧颞叶发生脑梗死。中风后他出现抑郁,4个月后发展为躁狂发作。
患者接受了氟哌啶醇和劳拉西泮治疗。
治疗后2个月内症状消退。
认为躁狂是右侧或非优势半球综合征的观点为时过早。我们建议,进一步聚焦特定解剖区域而非左右侧性的研究,将有助于阐明情绪与脑功能之间的相互关系。
