Abstract:
The olfactory delusional syndrome belongs to the rare delusional diseases. It is characterized by the persuasion of bothering other people by sending out an odour. This case report is about a 52 year old male suffering of alcoholism in addition. Aspects of this special comorbidity are discussed. Neuroleptic treatment with Risperidone led to a partial remission of the delusional syndrome.
