Sažetak
Aim of the study: To evaluate faulty MS diagnosis in psychiatric disturbances. Methods: Autors demonstrate and evaluate the role of complement diagnostic techniques evoked potentials (EP), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebrospinal fluid analysis (CSL) to confirm the MS diagnosis, as opposed to possible neurosis. Patients and Results: Three patients suffering from conversion- somatic disorder showed a highly similar clinical MS picture. The investigations in these subjects yielded normal findings of CSL, MR and EP. The first (female) patient, a victim of the War in Croatia was admitted to hospital with a palsy of lower extremities. The (third) female patient was mimicking MS bulbar speech disturbances and ataxia. In all these patients symptoms disappeared after anti-depressive therapy. The patients were found in a group of 121 clinically observed and diagnosed as MS patients. Conclusions: The percentage of faulty MS diagnosis is still rather high. The application of diagnostic criteria and common diagnostic algorithms are not always used. The most indicated complement examinations: MR, EP and CSL, are clearly sufficient for establishing a definite diagnosis and excluding some kind of mental disorder. Although not a rare disorder, neurosis could be regarded as a differential diagnostic problem in mimicking MS symptoms.
