Abstract:
This case report presents symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in a previously healthy 66 year-old man, who was found to have a dilated perivascular space in the left lentiform nucleus. This report is consistent with recent imaging studies implicating the basal ganglia in the pathogenesis of obsessive-compulsive disorder and adds the experience of treating a patient with OCD induced by structural damage of lentiform nucleus.
