Abstract:
The authors describe the case of a 70-year-old male who developed a peculiar syndrome characterized by pathological gambling (PG), delusional parasitosis and adipsia with mild frontal symptoms. Onset of the syndrome followed a cerebral haematoma involving hypothalamic and bilateral ventromedial prefrontal areas. The potential manifestation of PG following a lesion in the above areas may contribute towards furthering the understanding of pathological conditions underlying this disorder.
