title: CADASIL presenting as schizophreniform organic psychosis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe an Asian patient with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) presenting with schizophreniform organic psychosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We report a case of CADASIL in an Asian female presenting with frank psychotic symptoms. After resolution of her psychosis, she showed persistent distractibility, which indicated signs of cognitive impairment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although neuropsychiatric symptoms are commonly present in this disorder, psychotic symptoms are rare and should be recognized. There is a need for timely diagnosis and management of this disorder.
