Abstract

This case series elucidates pathological signs for diagnosis in two patients with Dementia. The first case highlights the term 'Smartphone sign', a novel psychopathology uncovered based on the existing 'TV sign', a rare type of delusional misidentification syndrome (DMS). The second case had symptoms consistent with the 'TV sign'. The possible underlying cause of these signs was hypothesized based on psychopathology, brain region, sensory system, cognition, and environmental factors. Moreover, the treatment outcome in terms of cognition and behavior on low doses of Risperidone and Escitalopram shows promising results and paves the way for the treatment of other DMS.

精神病理学的数字化：“电视信号”和“智能手机信号”是痴呆症的危险信号。

本病例系列阐明了两例痴呆患者的病理征象。第一个案例强调了“智能手机信号”这一术语，这是一种基于现有“电视信号”的新型精神病理学，是一种罕见的妄想性错误识别综合征（DMS）。第二个病例的症状与“电视征”一致。根据精神病理、脑区、感觉系统、认知和环境因素对这些症状可能的潜在原因进行了假设。此外，低剂量利培酮和艾司西酞普兰在认知和行为方面的治疗结果显示出良好的效果，为其他DMS的治疗铺平了道路。

期刊介绍： Neurocase is a rapid response journal of case studies and innovative group studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology that speak to the neural basis of cognition. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques, as well as studies of patients with neurodegenerative diseases, since these diseases are becoming more common as our population ages. Topic reviews are included in most issues.
