Psychotic manifestations in brain tumour patients: 2 case reports from South Africa

J R Ouma. Afr Health Sci. 2004 Dec.

Abstract

Two cases are presented of adult males diagnosed with psychosis who were found to have intraventricular tumours (central neurocytomas). In both cases the psychotic manifestations disappeared following surgical removal of the tumours. The relationship between structural brain lesions and psychotic manifestations is discussed.
