TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - A case study on the successful management of Cotard's syndrome in pregnancy JO - International journal of psychiatry in clinical practice A1 - Howe, G.B. A1 - Srinivasan, M. SP - 293 EP - 295 VL - 3 IS - 4 N2 - Cotard's Syndrome is rare and no cases have been reported in pregnancy. We describe a case of a woman in the third trimester who attempted suicide by jumping out of a window, sustaining multiple fractures. Delivery of her baby by Caesarean section and orthopaedic intervention was necessary before electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) could be administered, resulting in a successful outcome for both mother and child.
