Abstract:
Still's disease was diagnosed in a 40-year-old patient as a cause of psycho-organic syndrome with complete disorientation and stupor, sensory and motor aphasia. There were no signs of a tumour, cerebrovascular accident, bacterial or viral infection. The patient recovered quickly from the cerebral disturbances under treatment with corticosteroids. Similar symptoms in adult patients with Still's disease are seldom found in the literature.
