Alucinações Musicais e Esquizofrenia: a Propósito de um Caso Clínico
Journal Title: Psilogos - Year 2011, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
As alucinações musicais são um tipo de alucinações auditivas complexas. Trata‑se de um fenómeno relativamente raro e etiologicamente heterogéneo. Como principais etiologias, têm sido apontadas a hipoacúsia, a patologia cerebral orgânica, a epilepsia, e as doenças psiquiátricas, incluindo a esquizofrenia. A propósito de um caso clínico, os autores revêem e discutem a etiologia e a psicopatologia das alucinações musicais. Parece tratar‑se de um fenómeno sub‑diagnosticado, cuja pesquisa activa poderá permitir uma compreensão mais completa do quadro clínico apresentado pelo doente.
