Identification of the cause of the development of neurocirculatory dystonia: a clinical case

Abstract

This article is devoted to neurocirculatory dystonia with an analysis of a clinical case and the search for the cause of the development of the disease. The patient presented for clinical analysis was observed for a long time by doctors of various profiles, who prescribed her a variety of therapy depending on the symptoms. At the same time, almost no specialist suspected the neurotic nature of the disease in order to refer the patient to the appropriate specialist. This situation is quite typical for patients with neurocirculatory dystonia. Often patients with neurotic disorders turn to therapists, cardiologists and gastroenterologists due to the fact that the symptoms mimic a variety of pathologies of internal organs. Patients actively seek help from a doctor and are ready for various studies, they have a “rich experience” in communicating with doctors of various specialties, they endure numerous, often repeated examinations, they are prescribed a variety of medications. Thus, patients become dependent on permanent diagnostic studies and frequently changing medical prescriptions.
