Diagnostic Dilemmas in Neurologically Silent Tumors

  • 1. Maltepe University

Description

Intracranial tumors often present as a combination of neurologic, psychiatric and cognitive disorders. This article 
presents two cases of patients who developed psychiatric symptoms but organic brain lesions were diagnosed when sonrasında they underwent neuroimaging studies. The first case, 75  years old female, presented depressive symptoms, and second case, 43 years old male, presented with atypical 
psychiatric symptoms but their diagnoses were delayed because they were treated for psychiatric disorders. We recommend neuroimaging should be considered in patients with presence of previous psychiatric symptoms with 
additional atypical symptoms, poor response to given psychiatric treatment, late-onset of psychiatric symptoms.
