Differential diagnosis of fugue-like states

S Akhtar et al. J Clin Psychiatry. 1979 Sep.

Abstract

Fugue-like states, though usually considered hysterical or epileptic in origin, can occur with many other psychiatric and neurologic conditions. The survey of literature should help the clinician with differential diagnosis. Nine illustrative cases are described and guidelines for investigating a case of fugue are outlined.
