 AB    Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric syndrome that may present a difficult
       diagnostic dilemma. Catatonic disorder due to general medical conditions
       must be considered in every patient with catatonic signs. Four patients
       with this disorder are presented. In these patients, general medical
       conditions associated with catatonic disorder included dystonia, HIV
       encephalopathy, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy,
       encephalitis, and renal failure. Three of these patients had
       multifactorial presentations of medical conditions or prior psychiatric
       disorders. A critical literature review concerning catatonia and
       associated nonpsychiatric medical conditions only infrequently supported
       causal relationships between organic factors and the development of
       catatonia. The majority of patients have multifactorial etiologies.
