Manic Episode Associated with Mega Cisterna Magna
Tayfun Turan,Aslı Bes¸irll,Akif Asdemir,Saliha Özsoy,Ertug˘rul Es¸el 대한신경정신의학회 2010 PSYCHIATRY INVESTIGATION Vol.7 No.4
Mega cisterna magna is a part of “Dandy-Walker Complex” and it is characterized by the enlargement of the cisterna magna, morphologically intact vermis and cerebellar hemispheres. We report a case of manic attack in a 23-year-old man with mega cisterna magna. The patient was treated with quetiapine 1,000 mg/day and sodium valproate 1,500 mg/day and the symptoms were ameliorated within 2.5 months. In this case, mega cisterna magna and manic symptoms may be found together coincidentally or any cerebellar dysfunction due to mega cisterna magna may cause or contribute to the appearance of affective symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first case reporting manic attack with psychotic symptoms associated with mega cisterna magna. This report suggests that any lesion in the cerebellum might contribute to the occurrences of some affective and psychotic symptoms seen in bipolar disorder.
