Catatonia in adolescence: a case report.

Aditi Mehta1, Erin Carlton, Kathleen Franco.   

Abstract

The pathogenesis of catatonia is poorly understood and it can be fatal without effective treatment. Therefore, a swift diagnosis is necessary to treat this condition. It has been rarely described in children and adolescents. In a literature search, we have found only one reported case of excited catatonia described in a 16-year-old girl. In the following case report, we discuss a 16-year-old boy who presented with bipolar disorder-manic with catatonia. Through this case report, we hope to highlight some key points in the diagnosis and management of catatonia.
