Introducción: el Síndrome o Delirio de Cotard (CS) es una condición psiquiátrica infrecuente caracterizada por la presencia de delirio de negación (o nihilista), donde el paciente refiere desde pérdida de capacidades intelectuales y expresión de sentimientos, hasta la negación de la propia existencia y la del cosmos. Fue descrito por primera vez por el neuropsiquiatra francés Jules Cotard en el año 1880.
El síntoma cardinal es el delirio nihilista, que consiste en un espectro de ideas de negación normalmente relacionadas con el cuerpo (negando la funcionabilidad o presencia de uno o más órganos internos) o con la existencia (pudiendo creer que está muerto o que todos en el mundo están muertos).
Presentación de caso: se realizó el reporte de un caso de un paciente masculino de 54 años de edad, proveniente de Los Hidalgos, Provincia Puerto Plata, República Dominicana, con antecedentes de diabetes mellitus, hipertensión y trastorno esquizoide no especificado. Dicho paciente presentó los característicos delirios nihilistas, además de alucinaciones olfativas y auditivas, verborrea, aumento de la motricidad, anorexia, insomnio y soliloquio.
A pesar de la limitada bibliografía, se pretendió comparar la presentación de dicho paciente con otros casos de Delirio de Cotard.
Introduction: Cotard Syndrome or Delirium (CS) is an infrequent psychiatric condition characterized by the presence of denial delirium (or nihilistic), where the patient refers from loss of intellectual abilities and expression of feelings, to denial of one’s own existence and of the cosmos. It was first described by the French neuropsychiatrist Jules Cotard in the year 1880. The cardinal symptom is the nihilistic delirium, which consists of a spectrum of denial ideas normally related to the body (denying the functionality or presence of one or more internal organs) or to existence (being able to believe that they are dead or that everyone in the world is dead). Case presentation: A case report was made of a 54-year-old male patient from Los Hidalgos, Puerto Plata Province, Dominican Republic, with a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and a nonspecified schizoid disorder. This patient presented the characteristic nihilistic delusions, as well as olfactory and auditory hallucinations, verbiage, psychomotor agitation, anorexia, insomnia and soliloquy. Despite the limited bibliography, it was intended to compare the presentation of said patient with other cases of Cotard Delirium.
