Outline!
• Overview of organic disorders in psychiatry!
• Focus on treatable IEM and NPC!
• How to build an accurate and efficient algorithm for differential diagnosis?!
• Conclusions!
General Consideration!
• Organic disorders are poorly recognised in psychiatric patients!
• Prevalence is unknown except in few !sub-samples!
• Cross-discipline diseases are obviously more difficult to diagnose!

in Inte l lectual Deficiency !
• Thousands!• All inherited!• 40 / 100 000 (Applegarth, Toole 2000, British
Columbia) UNDERESTIMATED!• Frequently associated with Psychiatric signs!
Psychiatric presentations are underestimated particularly when case
are sever and with early onset!

30 patients with psychiatric signs
24 ataxia: 80%
24 VSNGP: 80%
18 cognitive impairments: 60%
15 large liver or spleen : 50%
Psychiatric Signs
NP-C and Neuropsychological Signs!
• Intellectual deficiency is not systematic, but when it occurs, it’s moderate!
• Cognitive impairments are common but unspecific: lack of working memory, impairment in logic thought1 !
• Developmental delay2!

Atypical Psychiatric Features!
• Suggest the need for a more extensive search!
• Are probably not accurate for acute (infections, toxic)!
Could be a starting point for a large algorithm!
Differential Diagnosis Algorithm!
• A large list of diseases!– 61 disorders!
!
Differential Diagnosis Algorithm!
• An even larger list of signs and symptoms (293) !
• Try to make it simple for clinical use…!
• Not an easy task…!!!

Differential Diagnosis Algorithm!
• Still a work in progress!• Simple and accurate!• IEM and other genetic diseases!• Atypical psychosis signs are a good entry point!• Few discriminative neurological (and / or other)
symptoms must be identified… !
Conclusion and Take Home Messages!
• Schizophrenia is present in 1% of the general population !
• An underestimated proportion may be associated with organic disorders !
• Not only inborn errors of metabolism !• Atypical signs of psychosis are a clear indication !
to perform an extensive search of organic causes!• Think about NPC!
