Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

In this case report we describe a patient who suffered brainstem bleeding mainly in the pons and mesencephalon leading to locked-in syndrome. During rehabilitation she suffered psychotic symptoms of threatening character. Due to location of the lesion and the coincidental appearance of the bleeding, we diagnosed an organic psychosis. After treatment with the atypical neuroleptic drug Quetiapine, the symptoms decreased, facilitating the patient's rehabilitation course.
