“…There have been very few case reports from India where catatonic symptoms, schizophrenic symptoms, depressive symptoms and mood lability have been reported in the initial phase of the illness [7][8][9][10][11][12]. This case highlights the need to keep a differential of viral encephalitis, especially when a child presents with catatonia along with myoclonus.…”

“…Classically periodic catatonia has been reported to occur in association with schizophrenia, but it has also been reported in patients with affective disorders ( Barroso Cañizares et al, 1999 ; Bräunig, 1991 ; Hervey et al, 2013 ; Yeh et al, 2010 ) and occasionally in patients with substance use disorders ( Bajaj et al, 2011 ), underlying medical illnesses ( Aragon et al, 2016 ; Boyce, 1958 ; Leentjens and Pepplinkhuizen, 1998 ; Sengul et al, 2005 ; Sutar and Rai, 2020 ) and in association with menstrual cycles ( Zwiebel et al, 2018 ). It has also been reported in adolescents ( Kinrys and Logan, 2001 ; Sutar and Rai, 2020 ) and the geriatric population ( Carroll et al, 2011 ; Tang and Park, 2016 ). Studies that have focused on the clinical profile of patients with periodic catatonia during the different episodes in the same patients suggest consistency of clinical features across the various episodes ( Francis et al, 1997 ).…”

Evidence-based consensus guidelines for the management of catatonia: Recommendations from the British Association for Psychopharmacology

et al. 2023

The British Association for Psychopharmacology developed an evidence-based consensus guideline on the management of catatonia. A group of international experts from a wide range of disciplines was assembled. Evidence was gathered from existing systematic reviews and the primary literature. Recommendations were made on the basis of this evidence and were graded in terms of their strength. The guideline initially covers the diagnosis, aetiology, clinical features and descriptive epidemiology of catatonia. Clinical assessments, including history, physical examination and investigations are then considered. Treatment with benzodiazepines, electroconvulsive therapy and other pharmacological and neuromodulatory therapies is covered. Special regard is given to periodic catatonia, malignant catatonia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome and antipsychotic-induced catatonia. There is attention to the needs of particular groups, namely children and adolescents, older adults, women in the perinatal period, people with autism spectrum disorder and those with certain medical conditions. Clinical trials were uncommon, and the recommendations in this guideline are mainly informed by small observational studies, case series and case reports, which highlights the need for randomised controlled trials and prospective cohort studies in this area.

South Asia, encompassing many populous countries including India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, is home to a wide variety of infectious diseases several of which are disproportionately prevalent, endemic or distinctive to the region. These result in considerable morbidity and mortality, which can be greatly reduced through public‐health measures, timely diagnosis and treatment. Some of these infectious diseases have neurological manifestations including movement disorders either due to the pathogen being neuroinvasive or via an immune‐mediated response. For diseases such as Japanese encephalitis, movement disorders are the primary manifestation while for others, they can be a presenting feature. Thus, recognizing these movement disorders is often crucial to the diagnosis of the particular infection, and/or to exclude infection as a cause and arrive at the correct alternate diagnosis. Once diagnosed, the infection‐related movement disorders are treated by targeting the infectious agent, or symptomatically. In this article, we describe and illustrate a variety of movement disorders that are seen in patients infected by viruses, bacteria and parasites in South Asia. This would be of value to neurologists practicing in the region and, with the increasing ease in movement of people and pathogens, those practicing elsewhere.
