Palma, MBorja-Santos, NTrancas, BKlut, CCardoso, G2016-04-112016-04-112012Innov Clin Neurosci. 2012 Sep;9(9):18-202158-8341http://hdl.handle.net/10400.10/1608The role of cerebellar pathology in psychiatric symptoms has long been recognized. Cerebellar pathology has been associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder pathophysiology, particularly with compulsive hoarding. Likewise, some cerebellum abnormalities have been described in schizophrenia, as well as in comorbidity between obsessive-compulsive disorder and schizophrenia. The authors report the case of a 32-year-old woman with obsessive-compulsive disorder and a cerebellum development variant in a family with a strong schizophrenia loading. This case emphasizes the probable role of the cerebellum in the pathophysiology of both obsessive-compulsive disorder and schizophrenia, and reconsiders the existence of a so called schizo-obsessive subtype of schizophrenia.engSchizophreniaObsessive-compulsive disorderEsquizofreniaPerturbação obsessivo-compulsivajournal article
