Cognitive function and dissociative disorder status among veteran subjects with chronic posttraumatic stress disorder: a preliminary study.

Twenty-seven veteran subjects with chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were evaluated for dissociative disorders. Ten subjects met criteria for one or more dissociative disorders, and 17 subjects did not meet dissociative disorder criteria. Neurocognitive profiles of the two groups differed in several areas, with veterans meeting diagnostic criteria for both PTSD and a dissociative disorder and demonstrating considerably greater deficits in attention, autobiographical memory, and verbal memory than PTSD subjects without comorbid dissociative disorder diagnosis.

A "cure" for chronic combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder secondary to a right frontal lobe infarct: a case report.

A 48-year-old combat veteran sustained a right frontal cerebral infarct at the age of 45 years. The patient's family reports that prior to the infarct he had a preoccupation with memories of combat, as well as nightmares, avoidance of reminders, and multiple arousal symptoms. Since his recovery from the infarct, the patient and his family continue to relate significant arousal symptoms but deny any continued history of preoccupation with traumatic memories, reminder avoidance, or nightmares. The resolution of a limited number of symptoms in this patient following damage to the right frontal cortex suggests that some of the symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder may be amenable to current biological interventions.
