Positive Results

Dizziness is a distressing symptom that is often associated with fear and anxiety, as well as organic balance system dysfunction. We report here on the successful treatment of a 68-year-old woman with dizziness and balance problems. Treatment was given within a cognitive behavioural framework, but also included physiotherapy in the form of head movement exercises. Results were evaluated by a balance platform test, a behavioural provocation test and questionnaire data. Positive results were found in each of these three assessment domains.

Cognitive Behavioural

Adjuvant Psychological Therapy (APT), a cognitive behavioural treatment, has been developed to alleviate cancer-related anxiety and depression. It is being evaluated in a controlled study of patients with early cancer, but has not been used previously in patients with terminal cancer. This case report describes the use of APT in a severely anxious and depressed male patient with terminal carcinoma of the colon. His psychological progress until death is reported. Although no firm conclusions can be drawn from a single case, the results obtained were sufficiently encouraging to warrant a systematic study of APT in emotionally distressed patients with terminal illness.

Treatment Package

Space phobia is a well defined rare syndrome, similar but distinct from agoraphobia. Its key distinguishing feature is fear of absent visuospatial support (open spaces) and of falling. In the past, this condition has generally been considered resistant to treatment by exposure in vivo. We report a case of a woman suffering from severe space phobia who received a cognitive-behavioural based treatment package. The gains that she made are described, but overall her condition remained relatively resistant to therapy. We suggest that a degree of caution regarding outcome goals at the start of any similar treatment of this rare disorder is wise.

Secondary Complication

We describe the case of a male patient who developed electromyographically confirmed myokymia, dystonia and tremor and clinically confirmed focal dystonia and tremor, secondary to electrical injury. Dystonia is a rare complication of electrical injury. Myokymic discharges secondary to electrical injury are previously unreported. Dystonia and tremor EMG findings were present not only at the clinically affected muscles of the lower limb but also at the clinically unaffected upper limb muscles. This is the first case report to link myokymia as a secondary complication of an electrical injury.
