| Résumé : | Psychot ic symptoms in the context of a neurological pathology, like a multiple sclerosis have been described for the first time by Cottrell and Wilson in 1926. The differential diagnosis between organic disease and psychiatric illness, when confronted to the onset of psychotic symptoms is essential. The somatic examination is essential to guide the best clinical care. The implications of a delay in diagnosis are both medical, psychological but also prognostic. This article will discuss the situation of a young 16 years old patient, cannabis user, with atypical psychotic symptoms for several months, for which the diagnosis ofmultiple sclerosis was finally established, after an hospitalization in a child and juvenile psychiatry unit. |
