Özet

Bu olgu sunumunda, adli ve psikiyatrik yönden, frontal lob sendromlu (FLS) bir hasta tartışılmıştır. Otuz dokuz yaşındaki kadın hastada, travmatik beyin hasarından sonra, günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde şiddetli bozulmalar ortaya çıkmıştı. Klinik değerlendirmede yavaşlık, duygusal kısıtlılık ve apati gözlendi. Sosyal davranışlarındaki belirgin bozulmaya rağmen durumunun farkında değildi. Bilgisayarlı tomografi belirgin frontal atrofiyi gösteriyordu. Hastaya FLS tanısı kondu. FLS, iki farklı klinik tablodan oluşur. Bunlardan en iyi bilineni orbitofrontal sendrom antisosyal davranışlarla kendini gösterir. Sendromun diğer ucunda apatik durumlar yer almaktadır. Psikiyatrik raporlar genelde suçla ilgili davranışlarda orbitofrontal sendroma odaklanmıştır. Bu olguda ise, apatik FLS’li bir hasta adli psikiyatri açısından tartışılmıştır.
