Journal Article
[A case of Turner syndrome associated with schizophrenia].
Orvosi Hetilap 2023 May 15
The authors present the case of a young woman with mosaic karyotype Turner's syndrome who was admitted to a partial hospitalization program due to comorbid schizophrenia. Psychiatric history of the patient included the diagnosis of mild mental retardation and an outpatient appointment due to depressive symptoms. Medical history included hormone replacement therapy due to primary ovarian insufficiency and autoimmune thyroiditis as well as a single case of physical polytrauma due to a road traffic accident years before her admission. On admission, the physical characteristics of Turner's syndrome, chronic phonemic hallucinations and paranoid delusion were found with secondary anger management and social adjustment problems. Brain imaging revealed global cerebral atrophy and a clinically not significant frontal meningioma. Neuropsychological tests confirmed the mild mental retardation and an imbalanced intelligence profile with better verbal than non-verbal functioning. Medication therapy was initiated with social skill training and outpatient follow-ups. Ten months after the initial admission, the antipsychotic monotherapy resulted in a good therapeutic response without a full remission of symptoms. We present our case in the context of a literature review. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(19): 753-757.
