title: [Psychopathologic characteristics of conditions simulating spinal diseases].
abstract: Combined investigation of 27 patients with unclear pathological states in a vertebral pathology unit yielded a description of a type of concealed mental pathology. A complex of three major determinants of the patients' state was detected: pathological hypochondric notions of delirious or hallucinatory type, psychosensory and psychomotor disorders. The latter were prevalent in clinical picture suggesting the vertebral pathology and thus leading to misdiagnosis of vertebral disorders.
