“…The only case we found in the literature was syndromic perceptive deafness in association with diabetes, cerebral atrophy and mental weakness. 1 Our case satisfied the DSM-IV-TR criteria for catatonia in mood disorders by having at least two features out of: waxy flexibility or stupor; negativism; posturing or grimacing; excessive motor activity and echolalia or echopraxia. 2 The delay in diagnosis of at least 10 days was due to uncommon but known presentation with dysphagia 3,4 and extra difficulties in detecting her catatonia features.…”

SummaryCatatonia is a common but underrecognised complication of bipolar disorder, with a quarter of in-patients with bipolar disorder developing catatonia. Almost 9 million people in the UK are deaf or have a significant hearing problem and British Sign Language is the preferred language of 50 000–70 000 people within the UK. Between 1 and 2% of these individuals (i.e. the same as in the rest of the population) will experience bipolar disorder in their lifetime and therefore the accurate diagnosis of catatonia is important. We report a case of catatonia presenting with dysphagia in a woman who is profoundly deaf–mute and who has bipolar disorder. This report highlights some modifications of presentation and difficulties of accurate diagnosis and management of catatonia in this patient. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of catatonia in someone who is profoundly deaf–mute.

In an effort to aid the clinician in the differential diagnosis of catatonic states, we assessed the nature of electroencephalography (EEG) findings in both medical and psychiatric forms of catatonia. An exhaustive review of the literature on catatonia due to a general medical condition (CDGMC) was performed in addition to a prospective review of catatonic patients at The Ohio State University Neuwpsychiatric Facility.A total of 105 patients had documented, specific clinical and EEG information, with neurologic conditions accounting for 82.8% of case reports. Results from the case series of 31 episodes of catatonia indicate that there is an increased likelihood of diffuse slowing in patients with CDGMC versus psychiatric catatonia. Given the observed rate of abnormalities, EEG is an important but underutilized tool in the differential diagnosis of catatonic disorders.

Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric syndrome that may present a difficult diagnostic dilemma. Catatonic disorder due to general medical conditions must be considered in every patient with catatonic signs. Four patients with this disorder are presented. In these patients, general medical conditions associated with catatonic disorder included dystonia, HIV encephalopathy, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, encephalitis, and renal failure. Three of these patients had multifactorial presentations of medical conditions or prior psychiatric disorders. A critical literature review concerning catatonia and associated nonpsychiatric medical conditions only infrequently supported causal relationships between organic factors and the development of catatonia. The majority of patients have multifactorial etiologies.
