Abstract:
The nitrous oxide-induced psychotic disorder is a type of psychotic phenomenon that occurs during or immediately after using nitrous oxide and is characterized by vivid hallucinations, psychomotor disturbances, disturbance of consciousness, etc. Although nitrous oxide can cause various neuropsychiatric symptoms, there are few reports of nitrous oxide-induced psychotic disorder featured with catatonia and convulsions. Given the rarity of this case in clinical settings, we present the following case report and review relevant literature to help the identification and treatment of this disease.
