Delusion of Pregnancy in a Case of Dementia
Journal Title: European Journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Delusion of pregnancy is a disorder characterised by a false and fixed belief of being pregnant despite factual evidence to the contrary. Although delusions are a common and troublesome feature of dementia, delusions of pregnancy have rarely been reported. We report the case of a 70-year-old widowed female with dementia who presented with delusion of pregnancy. She was not taking any antipsychotic medications prior to the onset of delusion and her serum prolactine level was normal.
