Delayed Onset and Prolonged ECT-Related Delirium

الملخص EN

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is effective in the treatment of depression.

Delayed post-ECT delirium is rare but can occur in a small subset of patients with risk factors and in most cases resolves with the use of psychotropic medications.

We report a unique presentation of a patient who developed a delayed post-ECT delirium with fecal incontinence that commenced 24 hours after the administration of ECT.

The condition resolved spontaneously after 48 hours without the use of psychotropic medications.
