  • Title: Three thousand days of pregnancy. A case of monosymptomatic delusional pseudocyesis responding to pimozide.
    Author: de Pauw KW.
    Journal: Br J Psychiatry; 1990 Dec; 157():924-8. PubMed ID: 2289107.
    Abstract:
    An unusual case of pseudocyesis of almost ten-year duration, characterised by a monosymptomatic hypochondriacal delusion and a selective response to pimozide is reported. The nosological status of the diagnosis, delusional (paranoid) disorder, is suggested to be a variety of the Kraepelinian concept of paranoia. The therapeutic pitfalls of relying on a phenomenological distinction between overvalued ideas and delusional beliefs are discussed.
