Resumo: | Introduction: Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an heterogeneous condition in which periods of altered perception or delusions may arise. Similarly, individuals with psychotic disorders may have obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Case report: A male adolescent presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with obsessive symptomatology with three months of evolution. Three weeks later, he returned to the ED showing symptom worsening and reporting delusions, being admitted to the inpatient unit to clarify the diagnosis. No positive symptoms were reported during hospitalization. During follow-up, the patient reported an episode of apparent delusional perception that he associated with the beginning of symptoms, again raising the question of whether a psychotic episode was present. Discussion/Conclusions: The distinction between obsessive-compulsive disorder and psychosis is not always clear, with obsessive-compulsive disorder being a significant comorbidity in patients with a first psychotic episode. Close patient assessment is required for early diagnosis and appropriate intervention. |

De igual forma, indivíduos com perturbações psicóticas podem apresentar sintomas obsessivo-compulsivos. Caso clínico: Um adolescente do sexo masculino recorreu ao Serviço de Urgência (SE) por sintomatologia obsessiva com três meses de evolução. Regressou ao SE após três semanas por agravamento do quadro e relato de ideias delirantes, tendo sido internado para clarificação do diagnóstico. Nunca foram objetivados sintomas positivos durante o internamento. Em consulta de seguimento, o jovem relatou um episódio de aparente perceção delirante que associou ao início da sintomatologia, levantando novamente a dúvida quanto à presença de um episódio psicótico. Discussão/Conclusões: A distinção entre perturbação obsessivo-compulsiva e psicose nem sempre é clara, e a comorbilidade entre ambas é significativa. É necessária uma avaliação meticulosa do doente para um diagnóstico precoce e intervenção apropriada.Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Porto2022-04-04T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.25753/BirthGrowthMJ.v31.i1.19194eng2183-9417Marques, Mafalda CastroSantos, PedroSantos, Verainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-09-21T14:55:38Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/19194Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T15:56:31.279850Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
