ABSTRACT

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a neuro-cutaneous autosomal dominant disorder that is often associated with various psychiatric disorders. Cotard syndrome is a rare neuropsychiatric disorder seen in a variety of neurological and psychological illnesses. The complex course of the neurofibromatosis predisposes the individual towards higher physical and psychiatric morbidity. Here we present a case of Cotard syndrome in a patient with neurofibromatosis. The patient was brought with an alleged history of self-harm and pervasive sadness of mood; a diagnosis of recurrent depressive disorder current episode severe with psychotic features was made. Patient was treated with oral psychotropic agents and responded well to the treatment.
