Background: Secondary mania refers to a manic episode that arises during a medical illness other than bipolar disorder or in response to a drug or medication. As the psychopathological features of secondary mania resemble those of mania due to bipolar disorder, misdiagnosis is frequent.
Purpose And Basic Procedures: We present the case of a 20-year-old woman who developed a manic episode with psychotic symptoms, in whom polymicrogyria, a malformation of the cortical development with abnormal electroencephalographic activity, was documented. After initiating antiepileptic management, the affective symptoms completely subsided.
Main Findings: To date, no specific recommendations are available concerning when to perform advanced studies in patients with a manic episode; however, as our case shows, these are much needed.
Principal Conclusion: Because the treatment of secondary conditions largely depends on finding the underlying cause, patients with a new-onset mania should undergo a thorough assessment for secondary causes.

An Evaluation of Iloperidone for Mania in Bipolar I Disorder.
Ann Pharmacother
January 2025
Division of Pharmacy Practice and Administration, School of Pharmacy, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Kansas City, MO, USA.
Objective: To review the efficacy of iloperidone for mania associated with bipolar I disorder and discuss its safety profile (eg, QTc prolongation, orthostatic hypotension, and metabolic adverse effects).
Data Sources: Literature was identified using PubMed (1966-September 2024), OVID (1984-November 2024), and clinicaltrials.gov.
Background: Antibiomania is the manifestation of manic symptoms secondary to taking an antibiotic, which is a rare side effect. In these cases, the antibiotics most often incriminated are macrolides and quinolones, but to our knowledge, there are no published cases of antibiomania secondary to cotrimoxazole. Furthermore, we also provide an update of pharmacovigilance data concerning antibiomania through a search of the World Health Organization (WHO) database.

Thyroid storm has rarely been associated with catatonia in case reports, with no prior reviews synthesizing this research.
Objective: We present a case of catatonia during thyroid storm following administration of low-dose haloperidol, followed by a review of previously published cases and discussion of their common factors and potential mechanisms.
