Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 45
Abstract
PRESENTATION OF CASE A 53-year old man had gone missing for six months and therefore was evaluated to ascertain psychiatric fitness before joining work. On workup, he was found to be educated upto Class 9, a regular employee with no history of substance use or personality disorder of any kind. On 16th December 2014 he went to the bank to withdraw money, following which he failed to return home. No suicidal note was found nor was any abnormal behaviour reported. Local search parties and the police were unable to trace him. Suddenly, after six months, on 7th July 2015, his colleague intimated his family members that he had received a call from the patient. They set out to look for him and found him wandering in a nearby garden. He was wearing the same clothes that he had been wearing on the day he left. Patient himself was tidy, clean shaven and properly kempt. He had lost quite a lot of weight, appeared weak and feverish and slightly perplexed. He recognised everyone and found his way around, but he could recall nothing of his whereabouts in the past six months. He could only recall that when he suddenly felt feverish and had shivering and vomiting, he remembered that he had to go to the hospital and that is how he recalled the details of his identity.
