Neurocase
December 2024
Department of Psychiatry, Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Istanbul, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- - Niemann-Pick Type-C (NPC) disease can lead to serious neuropsychiatric issues, including catatonia, which doesn't always respond well to standard treatments like antipsychotics.
- - A patient with adult-type NPC developed catatonia that persisted despite various medications, but improved significantly with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
- - Combining ECT with lorazepam managed the catatonia, and adding lamotrigine led to full remission for eight months, suggesting lamotrigine's potential benefits in treating recurrent catatonia.
