Abstract:
The so-called "secondary mania" are manic syndromes complicating various kinds of somatic illness. Cases of secondary mania following brain injury (i.e., tumors, cerebrovascular lesions, head traumas, infectious diseases, etc.) offer the opportunity to better elucidate the pathophysiology of "primary" mania. Published case reports of secondary mania are reviewed.
