收治了一位80岁的女性的精神单位调整治疗。她有一个不起眼的个人和家庭病史。她的家庭被称为情感减退、偶尔的失眠和焦虑她唯一的儿子死后,78年当她,但她从来没有出席了精神病诊所到入学前三个月。在那段时间里,她独自生活,照顾自己。在第一次访问,她被称为焦虑、快感缺乏,孤独,疲劳,害怕独自生活。她被诊断为抑郁情绪的适应障碍。尽管不同的抗抑郁药治疗,患者出现临床恶化。会诊-联络精神病学在下次冷漠、松散结构化有罪,强迫症,虚无妄想报道。此外,她提出了减少语音输出和精神运动发育迟滞pseudocatatonic姿势。在那一刻,她被诊断为严重抑郁发作住院治疗和精神紧张症重组赞同她的家人。 Despite different antidepressant and antipsychotic treatments, symptoms worsened and ECT was prescribed. The patient received eight bilateral ECT sessions during the following 25 days. During this period, the patient did not present any sign of improvement. In contrast, she progressively became disoriented, inattentive, perseverative, and her speech turned to be hypophonic, monotonous, with a paucity of content and difficulties in naming and understanding complex orders. She developed rigidity, postural tremor, bradykinesia, gait disturbances, and became wheelchair bound. Due to lack of efficacy, ECT was stopped and a neurological consultation was requested. Myoclonia, ataxia, or pyramidal tract signs were not observed. Considering the differential diagnosis between CJD and epileptic status post-ECT, blood test, cerebrospinal fluid tests, as well as electroencephalogram (ECG) before and after treatment with levetiracetam, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were performed. Bilateral parieto-occipital cortical hyperintensities that affected several gyri, but not basal ganglia or thalamus, were observed in diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), MRI with diminution of the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and minimal alterations in T2 fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences (Figure
