Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
A 52-year-old woman, whose initial psychiatric presentation at the age of 15 was with a disorder resembling schizophrenia, developed symptoms of Klüver–Bucy syndrome, and is now thought to suffer from an organic psychotic disorder. Klüver–Bucy syndrome must be distinguished from symptoms of schizophrenia or affective disorder; its presence suggests an organic process.
