İki olgu nedeniyle frontal lob sendromu

Nöro-psikiyatrik alanda değişik tipte hastalıkları taklit edebilen ve bu nedenle ayırıcı tanısı güç olan rahatsızlıklardan biri de, özellikle kafa travmasının ardından ortaya çıkabilen frontal lob sendromudur (FLS). Klinikte organik kişilik bozukluğu tablosu sergileyen bu rahatsızlık, hem süreğen olması, hem de klasik tedavi yöntemlerinden yeterince fayda görmemesi nedeniyle klinisyenler ve hasta yakınları tarafından baş edilmesi güç bir sorun olarak kabul edilir. Bu çalışmada, iki olgu nedeniyle FLS'nun oluşumu, klinik görünümleri, ayırıcı tanısı ve tedavisi tartışılmıştır.

Frontal lobe syndrome: Two case reports

One of the entities in neuropsychiatry that can mimic various disorders and thus cause confusion in differential diagnosis is Frontal Lobe Syndrome, which also can follow head traumas. The manifestation of the illness is organic personality disorder. Chronic nature of this disorder and its resistance to traditional treatment methods are troublesome both for clinicians and the care-givers. In this review, two cases are presented and the causes, the clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis and treatment of frontal Lobe Syndrome are discussed.
