AB With the aim of reaching a new classification of psychoses with multiple
sclerosis we reviewed the twentieth century literature for observations
with regard to the subject, as well as 688 medical records of our
patients, looking for the occurrence of paranoid and hallucinatory
psychoses in the course of multiple sclerosis. Special attention was
paid to the occurrence of cycloid psychoses. With multiple sclerosis,
psychoses on the whole--but cycloid psychoses in particular--occur more
frequently than in the general population. Women are affected just as
frequently as men. Cycloid psychoses occur earlier in the course of the
multiple sclerosis than the other psychoses; here, hallucinations occur
with a higher frequency. Similar as in the case of HIV-infection,
multiple sclerosis can act as a trigger of a cycloid psychosis. The
results of our study indicate that men and women experience this disease
as similarly threatening. A shortcoming of critical faculties based on
the organic disease is an additional factor that favours the outbreak of
such a psychosis.
