Psychiatric Syndrome

ABSTRACT Although catatonia is a well-known psychiatric syndrome, there are many possible systemic and neurological etiologies. The aim of this case report was to present a case of a patient with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and infarction in which catatonia was the clinical manifestation of a possible nonconvulsive status epilepticus. To our knowledge, only one such case has been reported in the literature, which had a simplified diagnostic investigation. It is important to correctly recognize the organic cause underlying catatonia in order to treat the patient as soon as possible thereby improving outcome. Therefore, physicians need to update their knowledge on catatonia, recognizing that it can be part of a psychiatric or neurologic condition.

Ophthalmic Manifestations

Alport syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disease affecting type four collagen production, causing renal, auditory, and ophthalmic manifestations. This case report is about a 32-year-old male who was a known case of renal insufficiency and secondary hypertension and was referred to the ophthalmology department due to blurred vision. Based on the patient‘s history and ophthalmological findings, AS was diagnosed. Ophthalmic examination showed anterior lenticonus associated with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and impaired renal function. This clinical case report sheds light on the role of ophthalmology in diagnosing AS.
