Zusammenfassung

Die emotional instabile Persönlichkeitsstörung (Borderline-Störung) ist ein komplexes psychopathologisches Krankheitsbild, das in der Dermatologie bisher nur wenig Beachtung gefunden hat. Die psychische Symptomatik zeigt ein breites und variables Spektrum mit Dominieren von Unruhezuständen, Getriebensein, Wutausbrüchen, Impulsivität, Instabilitäten im Selbstbild, Problemen im Beruf, innerer Leere, Partnerschaftsproblemen sowie Suizidalität. Besonders die häufig zu beobachtenden Selbstverletzungen können zur Vorstellung beim Hautarzt führen. Wir berichten über eine 26-jährige Patientin mit emotional instabiler Persönlichkeitsstörung, die aufgrund einer Neurolues stationär behandelt wurde und sich während des Krankenhausaufenthaltes zahlreiche Selbstverletzungen zufügte. Der vorliegende Beitrag legt die komplexen Diagnosekriterien und Differenzialdiagnosen der emotional instabilen Persönlichkeitsstörung dar, um frühzeitiges Erkennen und Therapieeinleitung zu ermöglichen.

Abstract

Borderline personality disorder is a syndrome of complex psychopathology which is not very common in dermatology. The emotional symptoms are broad and variable, but typically feature emotional instability, intense anger or lack of control of anger, impulsiveness, instabilities in self-perception, problems at work, chronic feelings of emptiness, unstable partnership relations and recurrent suicidal threats. Self-inflicted injuries are common and may lead patients to dermatologists. A 26-year old woman with borderline personality was hospitalized for neurosyphilis. During inpatient treatment she repeatedly cut herself with razor blades. This article highlights the diagnostic criteria and differential approach of the borderline personality disorder in order to facilitate early recognition and therapy.
