Combined frontal cavernoma and developmental venous angioma presenting as organic personality disorder: a case report.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOrganic personality disorder is a - nowadays - rare and often overlooked diagnosis characterized by persistent personality changes resulting from a direct physiological effect of a medical condition. CASE PRESENTATION: This case report presents a middle-aged male patient who was initially misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder despite longstanding neuropsychiatric symptoms, poor treatment response, and progressive functional decline. The patient exhibited impulsivity, disinhibition, cognitive deficits, and aggressive behaviour, culminating in a suicide attempt. Neuroimaging revealed a right frontal cavernoma with associated developmental venous angioma, and neuropsychological testing confirmed frontal lobe dysfunction. The diagnosis of organic personality disorder with combined specifiers—aggression, disinhibition, and affective lability—was ultimately made. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionThis case underscores the clinical importance of recognizing organic contributions to personality disturbances, especially when conventional psychiatric treatments fail. It highlights the necessity for comprehensive neuropsychiatric assessment, careful diagnostic differentiation, and the integration of radiological findings in formulating accurate diagnoses. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
