This study suggests that some dental or skeletal characteristics may be potentially associated with schizophrenia. <i>Method: </i>A case control study was conducted from 2020 to 2022 among 30 schizophrenia patients and 30 control patients. Data was collected through a clinical exam and radiographs for each patient. Different variables were assessed including teeth dimensions, maxillary and mandibular width, occlusal characteristics and cephalometric values: SNB, IMPA, and FMA. Proportions and mean with standard deviations were used as descriptive measures. Only variables with p-values < 0,05 were considered as statistically significant and associated with schizophrenia. <i>Results:</i> The mean ages of schizophrenia patients and controls were 34.0 +/- 9,12 and 17,3 +/- 2.0 years respectively. The results reported a statistically significant difference, between the two groups, at maxillar and mandibular arch depth [p < 0,001 and p=0,036 respectively], SNB [p = 0,013], overbite [p < 0,001], overjet [p = 0,002] and spee curve [p = 0,006]. <i>Conclusion: </i>According to these study findings, some dental, skeletal and occlusal characteristics may be related to schizophrenia. However, further studies with larger sample sized and long-term follow-up may be needed to confirm these findings.\u0000","PeriodicalId":256299,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience","volume":" 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141832640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Capgras syndrome was initially considered a purely psychotic disorder, but recently, Capgras syndrome understands as a neurological disorder, in which the delusion primarily results from organic brain lesions or degeneration. The case report aims to review previous literature on topic and present a case of pregnant woman experiencing Capgras delusion under full consciousness and whose expediencies are not linked to any psychiatric or neurological illness. Case presentation: A 29 year old, pregnant woman was brought for psychiatric consultation by her family with chief complaints of belief that her husband had been replaced by identical impostor, associated with irritability, anger and hostility since 4 months and aggravated in the last month. This pregnant woman showing absence of emotional response, no familiarity toward her husband and delusion that her husband replaced by imposter. Conclusion: Capgras syndrome is not necessarily pathological and can occur in a healthy population. Capgras syndrome may happen spontaneously under full consciousness in the healthy subjects; like in neurological and psychiatric patients. In this case report the phenomenological aspects of Capgras syndrome may similar in the content of the delusion to other studies were carried out with psychiatric or neurological patients, but no evidence of depersonalization, physical violence or aggression.\u0000","PeriodicalId":256299,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience","volume":"37 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140229339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the most serious form of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Vascular complications of tuberculous meningitis involve functional prognosis of patients. Observation: In our daily practice, we frequently encounter cases of cerebral infarction associated with neuromeningeal tuberculosis in the infectious etiological balance. We report the case of an HIV immunocompetent patient hospitalized for neuromeningeal tuberculosis complicated with ischemic stroke. It was a 39-year-old patient, right-handed, admitted to the Neurology department of University Hospital of Cocody in whom the diagnosis of neuromeningeal tuberculosis was retained. She received treatment for tuberculosis in emergency. On the seventh day of hospitalization, she suddenly presented with a massive motor deficit of the left hemibody. The MRI performed was compatible with meningoencephalitis associated with recent deep right Sylvan ischemia foci. The evolution was marked by partial recovery of the left hemiplegia, right retro-bulbar neuritis, and iatrogenic hepatic cytolysis. Comments: Tuberculous meningitis remains today one of the most serious neurological conditions involving the vital and functional prognosis of patients. Association of cerebral infarction and tuberculous meningitis is of variable occurrence. There are reported cases in which cerebral infarction is a complication of tuberculous meningitis. On the other hand, the discovery of tuberculous meningitis can be observed in the assessment of a cerebral infarction in young subjects. Tuberculous meningovascularitis remains a rare condition in immunocompetent patients for HIVAIDS. It results from arterial occlusion by thrombosing and obliterating endarteritis. It represents a medical emergency requiring starting anti-tuberculosis treatment. The evolution depends on the precocity of the diagnosis and the speed of treatment. Conclusion: The sudden appearance of a neurological deficit in à patient with tuberculous meningitis even under specific treatment should suggest an ischemic stroke, especially if the symptomatology respects an anatomo-functional vascular systematization.","PeriodicalId":256299,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience","volume":"115 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140447828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
