Summary
This 29-year-old right-handed woman, diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 21 years, presented with a 3-year history of cognitive decline. Her earliest difficulty was focusing when studying, followed by forgetfulness, both of which affected her performance as a medical student. She ultimately dropped out from school. At the third year of symptoms, her family described her as being disorganized and impulsive. These changes were accompanied by progressive dysarthria and imbalance, with occasional falls.
