Diagnostic Dilemmas in Neurologically Silent Tumors
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.
