After a coincidental finding of urosepsis, he was transferred to the medical service for antibiotic treatment during which time clozapine was restarted. While infection improved, the patient became progressively less interactive and by day 7 was diagnosed with catatonia. Intramuscular lorazepam was trialed but led to oxygen desaturation requiring brief ICU monitoring, and resulted only in temporary improvement. Furthermore, patient displayed intermittent autonomic instability, concerning for malignant catatonia. He was ultimately transferred to another hospital for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).

We present a case of first-episode akinetic catatonia in a 63-year-old male with a history of treatment-resistant depression, to highlight multiple diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in catatonia and discuss learning points. The patient had a likely episode of transient ischemic attack (TIA) which precipitated delirium, and subsequently developed catatonia and severe hyponatremia. The cause behind his acute catatonia was unclear. Catatonic symptoms did not improve with benzodiazepines, while side effects of oversedation and ongoing delirium limited further uptitration of benzodiazepines. Electroconvulsive therapy was also not initiated in view of vascular risks with the recent TIA. The patient's catatonia subsequently resolved spontaneously with treatment of his medical conditions. This case highlights the complexity behind identifying etiologies of catatonia with the interplay of multiple medical conditions on the background of an affective disorder and ongoing delirium. It also illustrates therapeutic challenges in the context of unresponsiveness to benzodiazepines, presence of concomitant delirium and contraindications to initiating electroconvulsive therapy. We discuss learning points in reference to latest guidelines in management of catatonia by the British Association of Psychopharmacology (BAP), and review related literature. We discuss etiologies of catatonia, the relationship between catatonia and delirium, and offer recommendations in the face of therapeutic challenges discussed.

Physicians are still trying to understand how COVID-19 can lead to, influence, and impact a diagnosis of psychosis—an inherently complicated diagnosis with various etiologies. This case report describes the clinical course of a 25-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with an acute onset of paranoia, visual hallucinations, and delusions of unknown durations after testing positive for COVID-19 2 weeks prior to admission. He was admitted to the neurology critical care unit, neurological causes of his psychosis were ruled out, and psychiatry was consulted. Initial risperidone administration resulted in symptoms of hyperactive catatonia which was then treated with a lorazepam challenge showing moderate improvement of irregular motor activity but continued agitation and hallucinations. Despite the diagnosis of catatonia, delirium precautions were still taken, such as maintaining day/night cycles, frequent reorientation, minimizing restraints, and verbal redirection. First haloperidol, then switched to chlorpromazine, improved his disposition and communication, but hallucinations and delusions persisted throughout the duration of his stay. Of note, a nucleic acid amplification test was positive for active COVID-19 infection on hospital day 5, and negative on subsequent testing. Psychiatry's final impression was “schizophreniform including possible contributing residual delirium from COVID-19 or other causes” due to symptoms persisting for more than a month, positive hallucinations and delusions, a catatonic state, and negative symptoms. This case report captures the difficulty of determining the etiology of psychosis when complicated by concurrent COVID-19 infection. It is unclear how COVID-19 impacted the diagnosis and disease course. Delirium has not been shown to be a common feature of COVID-19 infection, but acute stressors have been shown to lead to the onset of schizophrenic psychosis in genetically susceptible individuals.
