Abstract: | Summary We present a case of blindness and Anton’s syndrome in a psychiatric patient with late diagnosis of a giant frontal meningioma.
The criteria for advanced diagnostic imaging in the psychiatric population are discussed. We conclude that MR or CT scan is
indicated in psychiatric in-patients who fail to improve with standard psychiatric treatment. This strategy should be submitted
to a cost-benefit analysis. |
