Zusammenfassung

Wir berichten über den Fall eines 70-jährigen Patienten, der aufgrund eines leichten depressiven Syndroms und akustischer Pseudohalluzinationen Behandlung suchte. Es bestand eine langjährige berufsbedingte Hypakusis beidseits. Ein Vestibularisschwannom konnte ausgeschlossen werden. Unter Behandlung mit Olanzapin kam es rasch zu einer Besserung der Symptomatik.

Abstract

We present the case of a 70-year-old patient who was admitted for treatment due to a mild depressive episode and acoustic pseudo-hallucinations. The patient had a history of bilateral work-related deafness. After exclusion of a vestibular schwannoma he was treated with Olanzapine, whereupon symptoms improved markedly and rapidly.
