The Girl Who Mistook Herself for a Boy- A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
We report a rare case of an 8year old female child who presented with 9months history of memory disturbances, behavioral and personality disturbances in the form of aggressiveness, lack of fear, disinhibition, auditory and visual hallucinations, gender misidentification, inability to recognize the parents, identifying everyone as transgender and using abusive language. Initially she was diagnosed as childhood psychosis/ conversion disorder by a psychiatrist and treated with antipsychotics. There was no response to treatment. Further evaluation revealed an interesting underlying organic cause [space occupying lesion of the temporal lobe] presenting with neuropsychiatric disturbances.
