Abstract

Movement disorders and related physical deformities may sometimes be observed in patients with chronic psychotic disorders. In this article, we present the case of two patients with physical deformities associated with chronic psychotic disorders. In the first case, the patient had never sought psychiatric care despite her long-standing psychiatric disorder. The patient, diagnosed with disorganized schizophrenia, developed cervical kyphosis, due to her constant neck flexion posture. The other patient had been undergoing treatment for a long period under the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. In the latter case, peroneal nerve injury and dropped foot had developed due to a constant crossing of the legs. Physical deformity may also develop as a result of physical inactivity-hypokinesia, a fixed body posture, and postural disorders in chronic psychotic patients. Due attention should be given to physical symptoms in this group of patients and physical deformities should be treated alongside the patient’s psychotic symptoms.

Özet

Kronik psikotik bozukluğu olan hastalarda hareket bozukluğu ve buna bağlı bedensel deformite görülebilmektedir. Bu yazıda, kronik psikotik bozukluğa bağlı olarak bedensel deformite gelişen iki hasta sunulmuştur. İlk hastanın uzun süredir psikotik hastalığı olmasına karşın tedavi başvurusu yoktur. Dezorganize şizofreni tanısı konan hastada boynunu sürekli fleksiyon postüründe tutmasına bağlı servikal kifoz gelişmiştir. İkinci olgu uzun süredir hastalığı olan ve paranoid şizofreni tanısı ile psikiyatrik tedavi alan bir hastadır. Hastada sürekli ayak ayak üstüne atarak oturması sonucunda peroneal sinir hasarı oluşmuş, düşük ayak gelişmiştir. Kronik psikotik hastalarda hareket azlığı, sabit beden postürü ve duruş bozukluğuna bağlı bedensel deformite gelişebilir. Bu hastalarda bedensel belirtilere dikkat edilmeli ve bedensel deformite geliştiğinde psikotik belirtilerle birlikte bedensel deformite de tedavi edilmelidir.
