The persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) may coexist with restless legs syndrome and overactive bladder syndrome and share some similarities with these conditions. Thus, the new term: restless genital syndrome (RGS) is proposed. The purpose of this paper is to present a case of PGAD, including the description of the etiology, the diagnostics and the treatment of the disorder. The describe...

abstract explaining the etiology of complex regional pain syndrome (crps) from the psychogenic model is exceedingly unsophisticated, because neurocognitive deficits, neuroanatomical abnormalities, and distortions in cognitive mapping are features of crps pathology. more importantly, many people who have developed crps have no history of mental illness. the psychogenic model offers comfort to ph...

BACKGROUND Munchausen syndrome presenting with psychogenic dystonia is a rare condition. PHENOMENOLOGY SHOWN A psychogenic dystonia case presenting with an acute onset of retrocollis, lower limb dystonia and bizarre gait was diagnosed as Munchausen syndrome. EDUCATIONAL VALUE Recognizing psychogenic dystonia avoids unnecessary investigations and provides successful treatment.

A 2 years and 9 months old boy attended to a gastroenterology clinic of pediatric hospital for investigation of recurrent and intractable vomiting. He had post prandial, non-projectile, non-bilious emesis since past 2 years. Since the onset of illness, he was carried to many doctors and underwent extensive laboratory investigations. Because all of the science lab and imaging work up for etiolog...

Psychogenic illness during disasters can cripple emergency healthcare services. Almost all research into this phenomenon has been retrospective and observational, and much of it suggests that media coverage can amplify psychogenic outbreaks. But there is little empirical evidence that this is true or that, conversely, media reports can mitigate psychogenic symptoms. In their work experimentally...

The prevalence of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures is difficult to estimate. We propose an estimate based on a calculation. We used the following data, which are known or have been estimated, and are generally accepted. A prevalence of epilepsy of 0.5-1%; a proportion of intractable epilepsy of 20-30%; a percentage of these referred to epilepsy centers of 20-50%; and a percentage of patients ...

Functional amnesia, also known as dissociative psychogenic or mnestic block syndrome, is a rare disorder which, although clinically heterogeneous, most often characterised by dense retrograde amnesia mainly affecting the episodic-autobiographical domain but with relative preservation of anterograde memory function, pattern dissimilar to that seen in other amnesic disorders. The pathogenesis fun...

A confident clinical diagnosis of psychogenic tremor is often possible, but, in some cases, a "laboratory-supported" level of certainty would aid in early positive diagnosis. Various electrophysiological tests have been suggested to identify patients with psychogenic tremor, but their diagnostic reliability has never been assessed "head to head" nor compared to forms of organic tremor other tha...
