Ganser syndrome. A case report and discussion.
A case of Ganser syndrome occurring in an 11 year-old Indian boy is described, and the psychodynamics and nosological status of the syndrome discussed. Ganser syndrome should be regarded as a hysterical state, and should not be confused with the similar picture observed in organic brain syndromes and psychoses.
