Abstract:
This paper aims to explore the main points of diagnosis, treatment and misdiagnosis of conversion disorder characterized by paroxysmal abdominal pain. The general hospitals had a high misdiagnose rate and no effective symptomatic treatment for conversion disorder patients with physical discomfort as main symptoms, which leading to heavy physical and mental burden of patients and waste of medical resources, so this paper retrospectively analyzed the etiology, diagnostic process, treatment and therapeutic effect of a case of conversion disorder with paroxysmal abdominal pain as the main symptom. Case analysis showed that the physical discomfort as chief complain of conversion disorder patients affected the rate of early correct diagnosis and treatment, so clinicians' ability of diagnosis and differential diagnosis of conversion disorder needs to be strengthened. At the same time, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective in the clinical treatment and recurrence prevention of conversion disorder.
