NOT OFFERED AT FAYETTE COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ADMINISTRATION Diagnosis and Treatment of Catatonia Pierre Azzam, MD Director, UPMC Psychosomatic Medicine Fellowship Program January 14, 2015 Course Code: T292 Priya Gopalan, MD Associate Medical Director of the Consultation and Liaison Service Chief of Psychiatric Services Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC Catatonia is a syndrome of motor and behavioral features that fluctuates temporally. Common signs include mutism, negativism (purposeless resistance), immobility, posturing, rigidity, repetitive or unusual movements, excitement, echophenomena (repetition of speech or behavior), and ambitendency (being "stuck"). Conceptualized historically as a variant of schizophrenia, catatonia is now known to be precipitated by numerous medical and psychiatric conditions and is frequently misdiagnosed. Given catatonia's heterogeneous presentation and potentially fatal complications, learning to recognize catatonia proves critical to psychiatric care in the general medical setting. In this workshop, we will provide an overview of catatonia in its historical context, utilize cases to discuss the variability in its presentation, outline common exam findings, describe the medical and psychiatric work-up for the syndrome, and discuss management principles including pharmacologic treatment and electroconvulsive therapy. At the conclusion of this program participants should be able to: Describe the heterogeneous nature of catatonia and the considerable variability in presentation of the syndrome. Assess for the numerous associated signs and symptoms including neurological findings. Explain the different potential etiologies of catatonia including psychiatric and medical/neurological causes. Implement management principles for patients with catatonia using pharmacological agents, preventive measures for potential complications, and referral for electroconvulsive therapy when indicated.
