Effect Of Treatment

Affective symptoms are often present and under-treated in schizophrenia. This case study reports the effect of treatment of a specific phobia and associated avoidance on the psychotic symptoms of a patient with medication resistant schizophrenia. The treatment of the specific phobia and agoraphobia followed a traditional systematic desensitization procedure. The successful treatment of the phobias led to improvements in psychotic symptoms. Previously, the client had only a limited response to a number of antipsychotic medications including clozapine but responded well to a traditional systematic desensitization program that produced positive consequences for the psychotic symptomatology. The clinical and theoretical aspects of this case are discussed.

Paraneoplastic Disorder

Introduction: Bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation (BDUMP) is a rare paraneoplastic disorder that bears grave ocular prognosis. No consensus exists regarding treatment regimen and very little has been achieved in the way of successful treatment. We present here a case of BDUMP associated with metastatic non–small cell lung carcinoma treated successfully with plasmapheresis. Methods: This is a nonmasked, retrospective interventional case study conducted at a tertiary care center, characterizing bilateral disease in 1 patient, and describing response to plasmapheresis. Outcome measures were resolution of optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings, as well as visual response. Results: Resolution of bilateral exudative retinal detachments was documented with both ophthalmoscopic photography and OCT and accompanied by concurrent improvement in visual function. Conclusion: Bilateral diffuse uveal melanocytic proliferation has been treated with plasmapheresis in only 3 previously reported cases. This case demonstrates and reinforces the great promise in the treatment of this rare and devastating condition.
