Abstract:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and Cannabis has been implicated as a
risk factor for the development of psychosis. There is lacked of literature on the
link between risk factors such as brain injury and cannabis use in development
of schizophrenia. Method: We reported a case with history of traumatic brain
injury, who later developed schizophrenia like symptoms soon after initiation of
cannabis uses. Further the symptoms persisted despite abstinence on cannabis
but flared up after relapse of cannabis used. Results: Present case helps to
understand common neurobiological mechanism behind schizophrenia and risk
factors such as TBI and Cannabis abuse. Conclusion: Researches in this area are
important for management and further understanding neurobiology of
schizophrenia. ASEAN Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 18 (1): January – June 2017:
