Zusammenfassung
Paraphrenia is a chronic delusion, which may or may not be accompanied by hallucinations, usually with a late onset, and whose chronic course, unlike what it usually happens in schizophrenia, is not typically associated to the schizophrenic defect. When it appears in over 60 years old people, we talk about late paraphrenia. Case report: We present the case of a 69 years old woman who showed megalomania, mystic-religious delusions, demonic presence and kinesthetic and visual hallucinations. Discussion: Highlighting relevant aspects of paraphrenic symptoms and excluding entities such as dementia or Charles Bonnet syndrome. Conclusion: A late paraphrenia case is shown.
