[Delusional disorders with delirium of somatic type].
The delusional disturbance is characterized by the presence of persistent delusions that are not bizarre, which cannot be attributed to schizophrenia, mood state disorders, substance abuse or organic brain disease. We report a 37 years old male that presented the disease during the last seven years and had very little response to a two months course of pimozide, a neuroleptic whose effectiveness in this disease has been suggested.
