Teaching NeuroImages: Drowsiness, visual hallucination, Grandiose Delusion, and neologism of a 48-year-old man.
Neurology, 2020Co-Authors: Mao Liu, Jing Zhang, Yuan YangAbstract:A 48-year-old man had received embolotherapy for bronchiectasis-induced severe hemoptysis 1 week before and presented with acute drowsiness of 10 hours. Neuropsychiatric assessment revealed hypersomnolence, amnesia, confabulation, visual hallucination, Grandiose Delusion, anomic aphasia, and neologism during ideographic handwriting (figure 1). MRI showed acute ischemic stroke involving the thalamic region supplied by left paramedian artery1,2 (figure 2). Aspirin and atorvastatin were initiated. His symptoms persisted for 15 days but improved significantly with 2 mg risperidone after 1 week, and he almost fully recovered 1 month later. Visual hallucination, Delusion, and ideographic neologism are atypical symptoms of single left paramedian infarct.1,2

Humour and grandiosity : a systematic review of humour experiences in psychosis and an empirical preliminary investigation of 'theory of mind' and 'attributional style' in adults with Grandiose Delusions
2012Co-Authors: Boyden PaulAbstract:This thesis first reviews the literature on humour experiences in adults experiencing psychosis. An empirical study was next conducted to test the application of socio-cognitive models of paranoid Delusions to Grandiose Delusions. A systematic search of the literature was conducted on electronic academic databases between 1980 and 2012. Seventeen studies that have utilised humorous tasks within explorations of either the comprehension and/or the appreciation of humorous stimuli were found. The literature suggests difficulties comprehending humour are clear in individuals with experiences of psychosis, and that this difficulty is augmented when there is a need to infer the mental states of others to understand jokes or humorous scenarios. However, the findings with respect to appreciation are less clear. Here the evidence points to the role of co-morbid mood symptoms such as depression and mania in the attenuation of humour appreciation. In the empirical study, a cross-sectional design was employed to compare the performance of individuals with Grandiose Delusions to a depressed control group on measures of Theory of Mind (ToM) and attributional style. Participants experiencing Grandiose Delusions performed significantly worse on both ToM tasks and produced significantly fewer references to mental states in a dialogue task. Following a symptom-based approach, the presence of a Grandiose Delusion was significantly associated with poorer ToM on the joke appreciation and stories task. Participants with a Grandiose Delusion appear to have a ToM impairment independently of the severity of a comorbid persecutory Delusion. Implications for clinical practice are also noted.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo

Antidepressant induced Mania and Steroid Psychosis in a Patient with Bell’s Palsy
2015Co-Authors: Anne YeeAbstract:Steroid is commonly used for various connective tissue diseases and immunological related disorders. Psychiatric side effects are common in patient with systematic treatment of steroid. The reported prevalence ranges from 6 % to 28%. Antidepressant-induced mania occurs when the mood of a patient switches to manic or hypomanic from depression after the use of antidepressant. We reported a case of a 55 year old lady, who presented with agitation and grandiosity after the treatment with antidepressant. She was initially diagnosed as having Bell’s palsy with unilateral facial muscle weakness. Oral prednisolone was prescribed for seven days where she became depressed, having auditory hallucination and Delusion of guilt. She was then started on antidepressant where she became irritable, agitated and developed Grandiose Delusion. The antidepressant was withheld and she was started on atypical antipsychotic. Her condition improved and discharged well after three days of stay in the ward
