Abstract:

Background: Schizophrenia is outlined as a very early onset schizophrenia when the onset of psychotic symptoms before the age of 13 years. Childhood-onset schizophrenia is rare: Its prevalence is about 50 times lower than the one observed in adulthood. The prevalence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) in patients with schizophrenia is relatively high. Antipsychotics have been found to influence OCS. Aim & Objective: The present paper reviews the current knowledge with an emphasis on the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment hindrance associated with the very early onset schizophrenia. Case: We report a case of schizophrenia in which risperidone was effective in the treatment of the psychotic symptoms but produced obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Conclusion: The diagnosis of VEOS requires a multidisciplinary approach, a detailed and careful differential diagnosis. The obsessive compulsive symptoms subsided with gradual reduction of risperidone dose.
