Ganser syndrome
is a rare dissociative disorder. It has been reported in association with various functional psychiatric disorders and organic states, most often in patients with head injury and
stroke
, especially those involving the frontal lobes. The present case of
Ganser syndrome
had features of hysterical dissociation but was found to have haemorrhage in the temporoparietal region of the dominant hemisphere. The complexities of
Ganser syndrome
in the presence of an organic lesion with an overwhelming emotional component are discussed.

Ganser syndrome
continues to be a rare and widely misunderstood condition. While DSM-IV classifies
Ganser syndrome
as a dissociative disorder, its etiology continues to be debated. There are episodic reports in the literature of
Ganser syndrome
in patients with head trauma or strokes. However, the mechanisms by which these cerebral insults lead to
Ganser syndrome
or other dissociative states are largely unknown.A case of a patient with
Ganser syndrome
with a prior history of
stroke
and bifrontal infarcts is described. This case demonstrates how organic pathology may predispose a patient to dissociative states, such as
Ganser syndrome
. We review the relationship between hyperglutamatergic states, caused by
stroke
and stress, and dissociative symptoms.
