Orofacial pain, the main reason why many patients seek dental advice, usually has a local cause--primarily the sequelae of dental caries--but a wide range of diseases, particularly neurological, psychogenic and vascular disorders, can cause orofacial pain. This article will discuss disorders that can present with pain and the neurological, psychogenic and vascular causes of orofacial pain. The ...

This case study describes a 16-year-old boy who started to stutter after a rotavirus infection followed by signs suggestive of a cerebellar encephalitis. It illustrates the fact that acquired stuttering can be observed in younger children and that it may be difficult to distinguish neurogenic from psychogenic forms of acquired stuttering in some cases. This is especially true following a diseas...

ABSTRACT Explaining the etiology of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) from the psychogenic model is exceedingly unsophisticated, because neurocognitive deficits, neuroanatomical abnormalities, and distortions in cognitive mapping are features of CRPS pathology. More importantly, many people who have developed CRPS have no history of mental illness. The psychogenic model offers comfort to ph...

We present here a case in which functional MR imaging (fMRI) was done for a patient who developed retrograde psychogenic amnesia for a four year period of her life history after a severe stressful event. We performed the fMRI study for a face recognition task using stimulation with three kinds of face photographs: recognizable familiar faces, unrecognizable friends' faces due to the psychogenic...

This report describes the rare case of a 27-year-old female patient with conversion disorder who presented unilateral ptosis with ipsilateral muscle spasm of orbicular oculi. The co-existing of ptosis and muscle spasm of orbicular oculi indicates that, in accord with prior reports, the overactivity of orbicular oculi is essential in psychogenic pseudoptosis. The co-existing of unilateral ptosi...

This paper explores the relationship between emotional factors and "psychogenic" obstetric complications (those involving no discernible physical cause) by reviewing the pertinent articles that have appeared during primarily the past 15 years. The literature provides no conclusive evidence of causal relationships between emotional factors and such complications. The most consistent findings wer...

A controlled study of 30 children with recurrent abdominal pain and 30 pain free children failed to show any statistically significant differences between the groups on a variety of psychological variables thought to be associated with psychogenicity. A psychogenic basis has often been assumed as the cause in diagnosis of recurrent abdominal pain when clinical examination and laboratory tests s...

To the Editor: Oaklander's report 1 of a patient with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) in addition to a movement disorder is an excellent example of the value of videotape publications. The patient is described as having progressive right lower extremity dystonia and tremor in the contralateral foot. That the movements began abruptly after vein stripping is stated as evidence that neither ...

Examination of the dizzy patient should include a search for neurological signs and symptpms careful observation nystagmus. Most symptoms are markers dizziness central origin. However, some them represent vestibular or other imbalances that cause dizziness. Nystagmus could also peripheral Careful examination can help in discriminating psychogenic (functional)
