Objective: Psychiatric disorders following cerebrovascular accidents are common. Post-stroke depression is the most common of these disorders, and post-stroke mania has been reported on rare occasions. Methods: We report a case of a 65 year-old elderly male who developed mania secondary to a left sided cerebral infarction in the territory of the middle cerebral artery. Discussion: It has been theorized that lesions in the cerebral hemisphere and limbic structures may produce symptoms suggestive of mania. Emotional and behavioral disorders after stroke negatively impact rehabilitation, cognition, and long-term recovery. Conclusion: Post-stroke mania is a rare medical condition that may occur after neurological deficits.

Objective: This case reports highlight atypical presentation of pediatric bipolar mood disorder. Pediatric bipolar disorder is said to be a rare condition with some distinct differences from adult bipolar disorder. Despite the ongoing controversy regarding its exact typology, pediatric bipolar mood disorder is being reported in the form of case reports and in systematic research. Pediatric bipolar disorder is difficult to diagnose because its presentation of symptoms overlaps considerably with conduct problems, and ADHD (attention deficit hyperkinetic disorder). Methods: We report two cases which met a diagnosis of pediatric mood disorder where the presentation of symptoms was unique and atypical. Results: The cases are presented so that they help to raise pertinent questions regarding phenomenology, duration, episodic nature of the illness and management of this important group of disorders. Conclusion: Pediatric bipolar disorder should be viewed with seriousness and pediatric mania should be given importance in the assessment of the typology, prognosis and management of this important group of childhood disorder.
