Abstract

Paraplegia is a loss of movement and/or sensation of the two legs, and organic and psychiatric causes are involved in its etiology. In this article, a 14-year-old girl with sudden loss of power in the lower extremity and loss of sensation and related complaints, who was admitted to the emergency department and followed up in terms of organic etiology, was presented. She was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and conversion disorder (CD) by childhood mental health unit and she did not have any organic pathology in the results of physical examination. It is desirable to emphasize that CD may be a rare finding in children and adolescents with paraplegia. In addition, it should be considered that the evaluation and follow-up processes of such cases should be addressed in a multidisciplinary approach by child health and children’s mental health unit.

Özet

Parapleji iki bacakta hareket ve/veya his yeteneğinin kaybıdır, etiyolojisinde organik ve psikiyatrik nedenler rol alır. Bu makalede alt ekstremitede ani gelişen güç kaybı, his kaybı ve buna bağlı yürüyememe şikayetleri ile acil servise getirilen ve organik etiyoloji açısından takip edilen, yapılan fizik muayene, tetkik ve görüntüleme sonuçlarında herhangi bir organik patoloji saptanmayan ve bu süreçte çocuk ergen ruh sağlığı birimince değerlendirilerek yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu ve konversiyon bozukluğu (KB) tanısı konulan 14 yaşında bir kız hasta sunularak, nörolojik bozuklukları taklit eden ve KB’nin bir alt tipi olan paraplejinin çocuk ve adölesan hastalarda KB’nin nadir bir bulgusu olabileceği vurgulanmak istenmiştir. Ayrıca bu tür olguların değerlendirme ve takip süreçlerinin çocuk sağlığı ve çocuk ergen ruh sağlığı birimlerince multidisipliner bir yaklaşımla ele alınmaları gerektiği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
