Cotard’s Syndrome with Catatonia: A Case Presentation and Discussion – Corrected Proof

Cotard’s syndrome (named after its founder Dr. Jules Cotard, 1840–1889) or délire des negations is generally defined to be a nihilistic delusion that one is dead or paradoxically immortal, has lost his/her soul, is without functional body systems, is rotting internally, or is without limbs. Although rare, the syndrome is most often seen with psychiatric disorders, including depression with psychosis, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. It may also occur in various neurologic conditions, including neurosyphilis, multiple sclerosis, cerebrovascular disease, migraine, and traumatic brain injury. Catatonia is a syndrome that may accompany Cotard’s syndrome in these disorders but literature supporting this association is sparse.
