摘要:

Funeral mania, as the term is used here, refers to a typical manic episode occurring within 1 week of the loss by death of an immediate family member. The case history of a patient manifesting this rare reaction is presented and discussed. Comments are also made on the relevant psychiatric literature. Although funeral mania is probably a psychiatric curiosity it merits attention because it serves to remind us, even at a time when genetic factors in manic-depressive illness are in the forefront, that we should not overlook the role of emotional trauma.

摘要:

A case report is presented of a 62-year-old female admitted to a general hospital with a provisional diagnosis of mania and organic brain syndrome, whose unusual behavior and history prompted evaluation using computed tomography of her brain. Bilateral frontal lobe cystic lesions were discovered as a result of a bilateral transorbital leukotomy performed 21 years earlier. CT scan is presented, demonstrating the extent of these lesions.
