Klüver-Bucy syndrome and psychiatric illness.
A 52-year-old woman, whose initial psychiatric presentation at the age of 15 was with a disorder resembling schizophrenia, developed symptoms of Klüver-Bucy syndrome, and is now thought to suffer from an organic psychotic disorder. Klüver-Bucy syndrome must be distinguished from symptoms of schizophrenia or affective disorder; its presence suggests an organic process.
