โœฆ Synopsis

We present a case of delayed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a wrnl combat veteran who developed symptoms following medical retirement. Following a subsequent cerebral accident (CVA) Mr. J experienced intrusive thoughts, recalled forgotten war memories, began avoiding reminders of war (e.g., stopped teaching marksmanship), and experienced dissociative episodes in which he felt as though he was in hand-to-hand combat. Mr. J's example suggests that the disinhibiting sequelae of CVA ' s, and other neuropychological deteriorations that are likely to occur with poor health and advancing age, may influence expression of PTSD symptom.

KEY WORDS cerebral vascular accident; recall of trauma; neuropsychological deterioration; delayed PTSD.
