摘要
亨廷顿氏病(Huntington's disease,HD)是一种常染色体显性遗传疾病,影响基底神经节,由亨廷丁基因中的 CAG 重复序列引起。妄想性侵扰(Delusional infestation,DI)是该病的一种罕见精神病性表现。本报告介绍了两例伴有妄想症的 HD 患者,均为中年女性。第一例患者使用奥氮平治疗后,妄想症得到缓解,后来改用利培酮治疗,但自发复发。第二名患者在补铁和停用金刚烷胺的情况下,使用利培酮后DI逐渐缓解,但其他精神症状依然存在。这些病例揭示了一种不常见的病症,可能有助于指导人们了解最有效的治疗方法。
A Case Series of Delusional Infestation in Huntington's Disease.
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects the basal ganglia, caused by CAG repeats in the huntingtin gene. Delusional infestation (DI) is a rare psychotic manifestation of the disease. This report presents two cases of HD patients with DI, both middle-aged females. The first patient achieved remission of DI with olanzapine, later cross-tapered to risperidone, but had spontaneous relapses. The second experienced gradual resolution of DI with risperidone in the setting of iron repletion and amantadine discontinuation, although her other psychotic symptoms remained. These cases shed light on an uncommon condition and may help guide understanding of the most effective treatment for it.
