Abstract

The delusional belief one has died is a rare psychopathology. It has been described as a part of Cotard's syndrome and is associated with psychiatric and neurological illnesses. Here we present a case of a 97‐year‐old male patient who experienced this delusion with a background of long‐standing dementia with hearing and vision impairment. There were no associated psychiatric symptoms. Ten days after the onset of the delusion he had a stroke and hemiplegia, and he passed away within a month. We discuss the presentation and analyse the related literature.
失智症患者的死亡妄想1例
认为自己已经死亡的妄想是一种罕见的精神疾病。它被描述为科塔尔综合症的一部分,与精神和神经系统疾病有关。在这里,我们提出一个97岁的男性患者,他经历了这种错觉,并伴有长期痴呆和听力和视力障碍的背景。没有相关的精神症状。妄想发作后10天,他中风并偏瘫,不到一个月就去世了。我们讨论了报告并分析了相关文献。
