Psychiatric misdiagnoses in Dandy-Walker variant.

Psychiatric misdiagnoses in Dandy-Walker variant. Neurocase. 2014 Jul 24;:1-2 Authors: Blaettner C, Pfaffenberger NM, Cartes-Zumelzu F, Hofer A Abstract Cases of intellectual impairment and aberrant behavior in patients with cerebellar diseases have been described since the early nineteenth century. Here, we report on a patient suffering from Dandy-Walker variant who presented with symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder and delusional disorder. The current findings emphasize the potential relevance of focal cerebellar lesions as organic correlates of these disorders. PMID: 25058305 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
