Abstract

A 59-year-old man who had been presenting with a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms for several weeks. Despite repeated visits to somatic emergencies, as well as a thorough work-up including complementary examinations and specialist opinions, no organic diagnosis was established. The patient was treated symptomatically with neuroleptics and benzodiazepines, which led to a significant improvement in symptoms.

Keywords: approche multidisciplinaire; atypical neuropsychiatric presentations; multidisciplinary approach; neurologie; neurology; psychiatrie; psychiatry; tableau neuropsychiatrique atypique.
