We describe a case of an intelligent, artistic 50-year-old woman with schizoaffective disorder with a long history of delusional preoccupation with laterality and episodes of reported shifts in handedness. Investigations including dichotic listening and lateralised visual imagery tasks indicated unusual patterns of asymmetry. Executive functions were found to be intact, and EEG and CT scan were normal. Interview schedules revealed high scores for schizotypy, and no evidence of a dissociative disorder, whereas psychotic symptoms with mood lability were evident on mental status examination. The subject's preoccupations are illustrated with a selection of her artistic productions. The case is discussed in the context of reports of a relationship between schizophrenia and ambiguous handedness. A cognitive neuropsychiatric formulation briefly explores the possibility of alternative cerebral hemispheres affecting cognitive-perceptual operations. |
