Zmiany psychiczne u chorego z guzem przysadki mózgowej - opis przypadku       311
Summary The aim of this paper is to present a case of a 59-year old patient diagnosed with a pituitary gland tumour. The psychiatric examination at the day of admission to the clinic suggested the manic episode was based upon the disseminated organic brain lesion. The patient presented mood elevation, carefree joviality, excitement, loss of social inhibition, inability to sustain attention. In course of the clinical observation and diagnostic progress the pituitary gland tumor was revealed and neurosurgical treatment was applied. The psychopathological course of the disorder was not typical for the established location. The psychopathological syndrome that was presented by the patient gave the global clinical impression of frontal and temporal lobes' dysfunction. This case report supports the present neurobiological opinions criticising the direct relation of the location to the function within the central nervous system.
