Treatment of Ekbom Syndrome With Clozapine and Electroconvulsive Therapy.

Delusion of parasitosis (DP), which is also known as Ekbom syndrome, is a delusional disorder characterised by a false, fixed belief of being infested by insects or mites, despite the lack of supporting medical evidence. This disorder presents most commonly with the "Matchbox sign." DP can present as a primary or secondary delusional disorder.

Role of Double Inversion Recovery Sequence in Neuro-imaging on 3 Tesla MRI.

Double Inversion Recovery (DIR) is a robust sequence designed to suppress fat and water signals using two 180° inversion pulses to produce prominent gray matter contrast with high spatial resolution. It has proven to be more sensitive in delineating white matter signal abnormalities than conventional MR techniques. In our study, the highest image contrast with lesion load was observed using DIR over FLAIR and T2 weighted imaging.
