Abstract
LAZARO-PERLADO, Fernando et al. Obsessive compulsive disorder with motor and vocal tics, hoarding behaviour and foreign accent syndrome without aphasia: a case report and literature review. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2013, vol.33, n.120, pp.713-736. ISSN 2340-2733. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0211-57352013000400004.
We report a case of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), with motor and vocal tics, hoarding behaviour and foreign accent syndrome (FAS) (regional dialect) without aphasia in a right handed native Spaniard who presented with a left basal ganglia haemorrhage. His OCD and hoarding behaviour, which predated the brain haemorrhage, were diagnosed as a result of his admission to hospital as he had never been in contact with psychiatric services. Limited damage to the left striatum caused a regional variant of foreign accent syndrome. The patient responded well to treatment. To our knowledge this is the first case of a regional dialect of FAS in a Spanish speaker and also in a subject that presented OCD, tics and hoarding behaviour. We review the literature of these disorders.
