Síndrome de Loto

2006 
We present and we describe the case of an older woman with symptoms of cognitive deterioration associated to diverse biopsychological dysfunctions and of behavior. We highlight as main characteristic the habitual tendency to acquire, to collect and to accumulate in the home plants and flowers in gavels of all type. Carried out the comprehensive geriatric assessment, the semiology of the process and the motley sintomathology, indicate us typically the clinic of a geriatric illness. We describe the syndromic symptoms, the precocious diagnose and the integral performance to solve or stop the pathology. The personal, familiar and social context of the patient, as well as the characteristics of the illness, make interesting their knowledge, their implications and the therapeutic multidisciplinar boarding. To this novel psicogeriatric symtom we denominate it Syndrome of Lotus, allusive to the old flower of the Greek Mythology.
