Schizophrenia misdiagnosis after dysmorphophobia in a patient with macrocephaly
| Resumo: | The association of schizophrenia and hydrocephalus emerged in the literature decades ago (Lying-Tunell, 1979; Margolis et al., 1952; Maurizi, 1987; Price & Tucker, 1977). On the one hand, schizophrenia seems to occur three times more frequently among patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (Vanhala et al., 2019). On the other hand, patients with schizophrenia possibly experience idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus more frequently than the general population (Yoshino et al., 2020). A more recent study found that idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus seems to be associated with increased risk for schizophrenia (He et al., 2024). One way or another, the problem is far from solved, with more and better research being needed for a clear understanding of a probable correlation between the two syndromes: hydrocephalus and schizophrenia. |
