be assigned in this dichotomy created a debate, that lasts until our

days. These “atypical psychoses” had been described under many

terms and concepts in different countries.

In 1926, Kleist coined the term “cycloid psychosis” to describe cases

which did not meet the typical presentation shown in Kraepelian’s

dichotomy. Three decades later, Karl Leonhard established the con-

cept of cycloid psychosis as a nosologically independent group of

endogenous psychosis.

Objectives/Aims

Make an historical review of the concept of

cycloid psychosis. Discuss the clinical features and debate the clas-

sification of this clinical entity.

Methods

A bibliographical review is made of the cycloid psy-

chosis, based on the data published in Pubmed.

Results

According to Leonhard, cycloid psychosis generally

present with bipolar, polymorphous clinical symptomatology, and

run a phasic course with complete remissions after each episode.

Furthermore, Leonhard delineated three subtypes: anxiety-

happiness psychosis, confusion psychosis and motility psychosis

presenting with different symptoms. In 1981, Perris and Brock-

ington formulated the first set of operational criteria for cycloid

psychoses. In recent years, new data about this entity have been

acknowledged due to information displayed by different clinical

studies and imaging techniques.

Conclusion

The phenomenology and classification of cycloid psy-

chosis still needsmore evidence for a greater use in clinical practice.

However, this clinical entity can solve the void for the diagnosis of

many of the so-called “atypical psychoses”.

Introduction

Patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) show impair-

ments in many social cognition domains including facial emotion

recognition (FER). The existence of a relationship association

between FER and neurcognitive functioning (NF) remains uncer-

tain.

Objectives

To investigate the association between ToM function-

ing and neurocognitive functioning in SCZ.

Methods

FER was evaluated in 58 patients with stable

schizophrenia with a newly validated FER task constructed from

photographs of the face of a famous Tunisian actress representing

the Ekman’s six basic emotions. They also completed a neurocog-

nitive battery comprising the following tests: the Hopkins Verbal

Learning Test–Revised (HVLT-R), the Letter Digit Substitution Test

(LDST), the Stroop Test (ST), the “Double Barrage” of Zazzo (DBZ),

the Modified Card Sorting Test (MCST), Verbal Fluency (VF), the

Trail Making Test-Part A (TMT-A) and the Digit Span (DS).

Results

Patients who performed better in the FER task had better

performance in the VF task (

P

= 0.001) and in the immediate recall

of theHVLT-R (

P

= 0.021). No correlationswere foundwith the other

neurocognitive tests.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that FER represents an

autonomous cognitive function which does not necessarily

require good NF.

Introduction

As the population ages, cognitive impairment is

prevalent among older adults and this may cause a huge burden

to society. In order to take precautions effectively, we need to

understand the characteristics of cognitive function of older adults,

especially the individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Objectives

To explore the characteristics of cognitive function

changes in individuals with mild cognitive impairment.

Methods

A total of 108 individuals with MCI as MCI group and

108 volunteers as control group were recruited in the study. The

age, gender and years of schooling were matched between the two

groups. The cognitive function was evaluated with the Montreal

Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

Results

Individuals of MCI group performed poorer than those

of control group on executive function, attention, calculation, lan-

guage and delayedmemory. The difference between the two groups

was statistically significant (

P

< 0.05). The cognitive impairment

in participants with MCI were delayed memory (100%), language

(75%), executive function (66.7%), attention (44%) and calculation

(20.4%).

Conclusions

The impairment of memory, language and execu-

tive function is the primary characteristics in individuals with MCI.

Individuals with MCI have similar characteristics with early stage

Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We should take preventive measures to

improve or delay AD.

Introduction

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a progressive

neurodegenerative disease especially sporadic. About 30–40% have

positive family history, with an identifiable genetic mutation in

a percentage of cases increasing. Although the FTD psychosis has

been recognized for many years, it is not included in the clinical

criteria.

Objectives

To assess the prevalence and characteristics of psy-

chotic symptoms in FTD, compare the presence of psychosis in FTD

C9

+

versus C9

and analyze the occurrence of wrong diagnoses in

FTD with psychosis.

Methods

Literature review, using computerized databases

(Pubmed

®

). Articles were selected based on the content of their

abstract and their relevance.

Results

It is frequently the presence of psychotic symptoms

in FTD associated with C9

+

versus C9

. These may arise as

initial symptom often leading to a psychiatric diagnosis years
