A case report of Lhermitte–Duclos disease revealed by psychiatric disturbances

Résumé

BACKGROUND: Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a rare cerebellar lesion characterized by a hamartomatous lesion in the posterior fossa. Mainly diagnosed by MRI, the clinical presentation is usually made of neurological symptoms. CASE PRESENTATION: We present here a rare case of a woman who developed depressive symptoms that inaugurated the clinical presentation of LDD. CONCLUSION: Psychiatric symptoms may occur in all brain lesions, delaying the diagnosis and causing therapeutic escalation. More attention should be given by practitioners to psychiatric aspects of LDD.
