ABSTRACT
Background
Heautoscopic hallucinations are rare visual experiences consisting of the perception of the image of one’s own body or face within space.
Method
The point of view can be internal, like in front of a mirror, or external.
Results
Heautoscopic phenomena are classified among the disorders of somatoagnosia, or disorders related to the alteration of the body schema. It is not clear which sensory system is primarily involved in the generation of this alteration.
Discussion
This case report discusses a 21-year-old male student with first episode psychosis who presented heautoscopic hallucinations. His neurological and medical examinations were unremarkable. By explaining the theoretical background on the heterogeneity of autoscopic phenomena in psychiatric and neurological disease, our clinical observation contributes for the first time to enrich the literature on autoscopic hallucinations in patients with non-affective psychosis.

首发精神病中的镜下幻觉一例报告及临床概述
摘要
背景
自视幻觉是一种罕见的视觉体验,包括对自己身体或脸部在空间中的图像的感知。
方法
视角可以是内部的,比如在镜子前,也可以是外部的。
结果
目视现象属于躯体失认症或与身体图式改变相关的疾病。目前尚不清楚哪种感觉系统主要参与这种改变的产生。
讨论
本病例报告讨论了一名 21 岁的男性学生,他患有首发精神病,并出现了幻觉。他的神经系统和医学检查没有异常。通过解释精神科和神经系统疾病中自视现象异质性的理论背景,我们的临床观察首次有助于丰富非情感性精神病患者自视幻觉的文献。
