Abstract in brief

  • The study reviewed cases of Cotard delusion, a rare condition where patients deny their own existence or body parts, by examining medical records from the Mayo Clinic between 1996 and 2016, ultimately identifying 12 adult patients with neuroimaging data.
  • Findings showed that these patients had various neurological abnormalities, such as frontal lobe changes, brain volume loss, and ischemic lesions, suggesting that Cotard delusions may be associated with different brain regions, especially in the right hemisphere or bilaterally.
  • Multiple treatment options, including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), medication, behavioral therapy, and others, have proven to be effective, indicating that Cotard delusion occurs across a spectrum of neuropsychiatric and medical conditions and can be managed with diverse approaches.
