Cotard’s syndrome in the postoperative period following head and neck cancer surgery – A case report. Indian Journal of Cancer . 2022 Jun; 59(2): 273-2750019-509Xhttp://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/221686Major head and neck surgery is a known factor for postoperative delirium; however, Cotard’s syndrome (CS) has been rarely reported following head and neck surgery. We report a case of a 51?year?old man who underwent surgery for carcinoma right buccal mucosa and developed agitation and nihilistic delusion after extubation. The patient had a preexisting psychiatric history which is often reported as a risk factor for CS. Of interest, though is that this condition subsided as quickly as it emerged with only supportive counselling and brief pharmacotherapy.Deliriumelectroconvulsive therapysurgerysyndromeJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Onco-Anaesthesiology and Palliative Medicine, AIIMS, Ansari Nagar, New DelhiDepartment of Anaesthesiology, Pain and Critical Care, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, India
