Palinopsia posing as a psychotic depression

TJ Gates, SJ Stagno and AD Gulledge
Department of Psychiatry, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Ohio 44106.

The experience of visual images appearing as well-described persons and objects, either familiar or unfamiliar to the patient, has frequently prompted psychiatric evaluation for apparent psychotic or schizophrenic disorders. A case of apparent psychotic depression is reported, in which the symptoms were due to the patient's experience of palinoptic images. Answers to particular questions in the initial interview can obviate the need for psychiatric consultation, as various consistencies have been reported in the non-psychiatric symptom of palinopsia.
