Extract

Brain and Strauss (1945) emphasize that a patient recovering from the immediate effects of rupture of a congenital intracranial aneurysm may show “some reduction of mental function, varying from impairment of memory and inability to concentrate to more serious disturbances.” They add, “The importance of these residual symptoms lies in the possibility that they may lead to faulty diagnosis if the patient is first seen some time after the leakage which produced them.” In view of the significance of this eventuality, the following case is of relevant interest. I saw the patient for the first time when the paranoid features were already the most prominent clinical manifestations of the case.
