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.
