ObjectiveThis case is presented to describe a rare psychopathology in which the patient hears her own voice speaking out loud all the texts that she sees in books or papers and she cannot read them inside her mind. This psychopathological phenomena has some features of reflex hallucinations, thought echo as well as of inner reading voices yet it cannot be categorized into either one.Case reportThis is a 26-year-old female with Schizophrenia for 3 years. While on medication 8 months before presentation she started hearing her own voice reading any text that she sees. When she sees a text she cannot read it in her mind and understand, but she hears it in her own voice to her ears. With this she also hears other voices talking about her and to her. She also believes that her father is the one who controls all her actions and the things that happen to her. In her mental state examination her mood was euthymic and she had delusions of control, thought broadcasting and in her perceptions she had visual perceptual abnormality where she saw the same object she would look at in another direction but they are under her control. She also had second and third person auditory hallucinations. She was admitted to start on clozapine because her voices did not respond to any medication.DiscussionAuditory hallucinations are the most commonly encountered type in schizophrenia with a prevalance of 70–80%. This patient hears the words that she sees which has some features of reflex hallucinations, however in the latter the hallucination is not a transformation of the perception. This also has some qualities of thought echo, where just as the patient thinks she can hear them. However in this patient she cannot read the texts in her mind. Inner reading voices are where a person talks to oneself while reading, however in the subjective mind. In our patient this phenomenon also proved to be the most difficult to treat as all her other auditory hallucinations responded to Clozapine, while still this phenomenon remained.ConclusionThis case is presented to describe the rare psychopathology in this patient in the form of auditory hallucinations

Sensory Encoding

SummaryA patient is presented showing an altered oddball response while suffering from auditory hallucinations. The nontarget stimulus evokes a compound negative potential encompassing a normal early N1 component and an additional negativity within the categorization N2 range. These findings are discussed in reference to impaired mismatch processes and the deranged monitoring of inner speech theory, proposed in schizophrenia.

IntroductionSchizencephaly is a rare malformation of the central nervous system, a congenital disorder of cerebral cortical development resulting in the formation of abnormal unilateral or bilateral clefts in the cerebral hemispheres that extends from the pial surface to the ventricle. It often manifests with partial seizures, mental retardation and hemiparesis.ObjectiveTo illustrate a rare case of association between psychosis and schizencephaly and the implication of this association for understanding the biology of the psychosis.MethodsA literature search was performed on PubMed database using the key words schizencephaly, psychosis, brain diseases and retrieved papers were selected according to their relevance. The patient clinical record was reviewed.ResultsThe authors report a case of a 59-year-old male admitted into a psychiatric hospital with insomnia, disorganized behavior probably secondary to auditory hallucinations and mystic delusions. He also reported epilepsy and strabismus in his right eye since his childhood and right facial paresis. A head CT scan revealed a left deep cortico-ventricular parieto-occipital communication corresponding to schizencephaly.ConclusionsConsidering the theory that schizophrenia is associated with abnormal brain development, this case report may provide an example of a neurodevelopment abnormality that manifests as psychosis.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

AimTo impress the diversity of positive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia.MethodCase report and review of the literature (PubMed).ResultsMale patient, 43 years old, single, elementary school graduate, living with his mother. First hospitalization.Clinical featuresPersecutory ideas and auditory hallucinations dating from 8 months: he was convinced that his neighbor wanted to harm him; for this reason he had recruited his dog. He noted that the dog was following him when he was going out in the neighborhood, and was very aggressive towards him (he“heard” the dog barking at him continuously). His fear made him stop working (scrap dealer) and he was afraid of coming out of his home. He had even thought of poisoning the animal. Laboratory as well as neuroimaging exams (EEG, brain CT) were normal. The patient was treated with haloperidol (30 mg daily) and olanzapine (15 mg daily). He was discharged after 18 days. Three months later, he spontaneously stopped medication (15 mg olanzapine daily); in three weeks time the same ideas had resurfaced and was “hearing” the neighbor's dog barking again loudly at him. Since then he takes his medication regularly without experiencing any symptoms. Only one relevant article was found in the literature (Dening, T.R., and West, A.“The Dolittle phenomenon: hallucinatory voices from animals”, Psychopathology. 1990; 23: 40–45).ConclusionsAnimals could, rarely, play a key role in the delusional ideas of patients with schizophrenia. This doesn’t make these ideas less debilitating or even potentially dangerous.
