Idiopathic recurrent stupor: a warning
Abstract
A proposal that an endogenous benzodiazepine-like agent named endozepine-4 might be responsible for presentations of recurrent stupor has gained wide acceptance. A case of recurrent stupor over two decades is presented with many similarities to previous cases of “endozepine stupor”. This case, however, was caused by exogenous benzodiazepine administration and serves as a warning to clinicians to beware of this diagnosis.
