Obsessive compulsive disorder secondary to head injury.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a rare sequel of head injury. There are few reports on the subject. This article presents the case of a young patient who developed OCD several years after head injury. In the light of the present state of knowledge, the authors discuss the relationship between OCDS and the brain lesions observed, their localizations and their physiopathological mechanisms, which may explain the occurrence of the disorder.
