Koro secondary to a tumour of the corpus callosum

R Durst and P Rosca-Rebaudengo
Talbieh Psychiatric Hospital, Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel.

The concurrent appearance of the koro syndrome and pathology of the central nervous system is quite rare. A case of a patient with a diagnosed tumour in the genu of the corpus callosum, who displayed typical koro symptoms, is presented. A short series of electroconvulsive shock treatments brought about resolution of the koro symptoms. Neurological investigation of all sporadic cases of koro is deemed necessary, to exclude cerebral involvement.
