[Differential diagnostic problems in psychiatric diseases of involution illustrated with a case of abortive Osler...

Differentialdiagnostic problems of psychic diseases in the lifetime of involution commented on a case of abortive Osler's disease. From a differentialdiagnostic view, common problems of ranging in forms of psychosis in the age of involution are discussed by demonstration of a several years persisting and interesting course of psychosis in involution in a case of abortive Osler's disease, sustained by affectiveness. We underline, that in reflections of differentialdiagnostic value about psychosis of the involutional age, it is of priority, to identify a clear contoured psychic disorder as an accessory one in a primary somatic disease, or as a representative syndrome of a primary psychic disease. Somatic findings, in particular those of vascular origin (neuroradiological findings in the present case too) may complicate the problematic diagnostic efforts anyhow in the group of psychosis in the age of involution too.
