Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Catatonia is a medical emergency condition with varied causative factors. Subsequent medical complications of catatonia put the patient to high risk of morbidity and mortality. Earlier studies show mortality rates up to 50% without proper and timely intervention. Deep vein thrombosis is one such life threatening complication which can be prevented with proper management and care. A case of acute onset catatonia with a left leg DVT in a 21 yr old young single male is discussed here.
