review will facilitate the understanding of symptoms in order

to effectively diagnose and provide a holistic early treatment

approach.

Methods

A case report of a 72-year-old woman with bilateral

cerebellar lesions with high pre-morbid function presented with

classic symptoms of CCAS. Multidisciplinaryworkup includedmed-

ical, psychiatric, neuropsychological assessment (R-BANS (Form

1), Digit Span, Verbal fluency tests, the Hayling Test, the Delis-

Kaplan Executive Function System) as well as other investigations

(neuroimaging and blood tests) were conducted on the patient to

confirm CCAS and exclude other differential diagnoses.

Results

The results from the medical assessments conducted

showed symptoms of cerebellar dysfunction. A psychiatry and

neuropsychological review revealed aggression, irritability, dis-

inhibition, deterioration in cognitive function and personality

changes. A multidisciplinary team was formed to rehabilitate the

patient however patient was non-compliant with therapy. The

patient was prescribed Seroquel 50 XR and she responded well to

the medication.

Conclusion

This case review illustrates the challenges associated

with engaging a CCAS patient in rehabilitation activities due to cog-

nitive andmood disorders. The use of psychotropicmedications can

be an effective method in improving cognition and mood disorders

in CCAS patients. Early psychiatry and psychological intervention

can significantly improve the overall outcome of a patient diag-

nosed with CCAS.

Introduction

Case presentation of a young woman Ms. SH, with

neuropsychiatric presentation in a rare Lysosomal Storage Disorder

(Fabry’s disease).

Case report

A 19-year-old female with Fabry’s disease (FD)

presented initially with symptoms of obsessions of dirt and con-

tamination and compulsions of washing and also with overvalued

persecutory ideas of being followed. Since the age of 14, she had suf-

fered from various psychiatric symptoms increasing in frequency

and intensity. Routine examinations including cognitive testing,

electroencephalography and structural magnetic resonance imag-

ing revealed no pathological findings. During the course of a year,

her OC symptoms improved significantly with the use of Fluoxe-

tine 40mg mane. However, she then became more depressed and

psychotic (despite continuing on Fluoxetine). Addition of Risperi-

done (gradually increased to 2mg nocte) led to attenuation of her

symptoms and she recovered completely over a course of another

6 months.

Discussion

Mental and behavioural symptoms in Fabry Disease

symptoms usually begin during late childhood or adolescence but

may not become apparent until the second or third decade of

life. Early symptoms include episodes of severe burning pain in

the hands and feet and skin lesions. The psychiatric manifesta-

tions can be varied, e.g. the index patient, initially presented with

what appeared like an Obsessive Compulsive disorder but later as

a depressive illness (Muller et al,. 2006) with psychotic symptoms.

Conclusions

To showcase mental and behavioural symptoms

associated with a rare disorder like Fabry’s disorder and treatment

options may be helpful.

Background

There are few studies specifically investigating the

acute treatment procedures of patients with schizophrenia in the

context of Consultation-liaison psychiatry (CLP).

Purpose

Describe the main clinical features of the referrals of

patients with schizophrenia, attended by a general hospital CLP

service.

Methods

Longitudinal observational and descriptive study,

assessing adult inpatients with schizophrenia (DSM-IV-TR criteria)

admitted to non-psychiatric units of Hospital Clínic of Barcelona

(Spain), who were consecutively referred to our CLP service over a

10-year period (from January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2014).

Results

During that period, 9.808 psychiatric consultations were

requested. 163 of them (1.8%) concerned patients with schizophre-

nia. These groups of patients were aged 50.9

±

15.3 years and 65%

were male. A 25.9% of patients had history of suicide attempts and

45.6% presented current psychosocial stressors.

Characteristics of referrals Referral sources according to medical

specialties are shown in

Table 1 .

The major medical conditions for referral according to ICD-10

categories were: external causes of morbidity (21.5%), infectious

diseases (13.5%) and diseases of the digestive system (10.4%).

The two most frequent reasons for referral were the assessment of

psychopharmacological treatment and/or psychopathological state

examination (62%) and suicidal risk/attempt assessment (8.6%).

Conclusions

In our sample, only a 1.8% of all patients for

whom psychiatric consultation was requested had a diagnosis of

schizophrenia. The most common profile of them was: male, 50

years old, coming from general medicine department due exter-

nal causes of morbidity and referred to the CLP service because of

psychiatric state and/or medication review.
