Intense interstitial psychosis


Acute interstitial psychosis is a type of epilepsy-related psychosis.

Different sources, depending on the focus, indicate the incidence of acute interstitial psychosis. These results range from 14 to 44%. More often they appear in temporal epilepsy, however, studies on the relationship between the occurrence of psychotic symptoms in epilepsy have not yielded consistent results. International fetal risk factors include female, first epilepsy aged between 5 and 10 years, period after this seizure from 11 to 15 years, temporal lobe epilepsy, well-controlled, partial seizures, gliomas or teratoma in temporal lobe of the brain.

In contrast to the epileptic seizure type, acute interstitial psychosis does not have a direct temporal relationship with seizures.

Symptoms of acute interstitial psychosis include generalized symptoms such as paranoid delusions or auditory hallucinations. In addition, affective symptoms are also observed.

Despite the name, acute interstitial psychosis can last only short but also chronic. It may take several days, or it may take several weeks.

The acute interstitial psychosis differs from paroxysmal psychosis, distinguishing these two different organic psychotic disorders presents difficulties. Approximately 14% of patients with paroxysmal psychosis may over time develop symptoms of interstitial psychosis.
