- W1978889031 abstract "Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for depression although its use in brain tumors is controversial. The case presented is of an elderly woman with a highly malignant brain tumor who received ECT prior to the tumor's detection An 80-year-old female was admitted to a psychiatric facility in March 2001 after a 9-month history of depression. A screening computed tomography (CT) of the head, performed on 7 May, was normal. Following an unsuccessful course of medication therapy the patient received seven right unilateral ECT from 6–22 June. Her mood improved but she became more confused and after repeated falls an enhanced CT scan, on 29 June, showed a tumor of the corpus callosum. She was discharged home but declined and was admitted to a downtown teaching hospital on 18 July 2001. She was seen by the consultation-liaison service who felt she was both demented and depressed. Paroxetine was started with good effect. Repeat CT was done on 18 July and an MRI, done on 20 July, confirmed the presence of a corpus callosum lesion. A brain biopsy in early August was positive for glioblastoma multiforme. Glioblastoma multiforme is a rapidly progressive tumor with an average life expectancy of 6–12 months.1 The use of ECT in the presence of an intracranial mass is controversial.2 Case reports have shown significant morbidity and mortality associated with the use of ECT in brain tumors, including a review by Maltbie who examined 35 cases and concluded a 74% morbidity rate and 28% 1-year mortality rate post-ECT.3 Successful use of ECT in patients with non-invasive brain tumors has been documented, including a prospective review by Mattingly of 10 patients.4 ECT was used successfully to treat a 61-year-old man with a malignant left temporal anaplastic astrocytoma, although the procedure was modified to reduce adverse effects.5 In this case the patient's mood improved briefly but it was not sustained. Furthermore, there was significant post-treatment confusion and her neurologic state declined rapidly. This case illustrates that patients with malignant brain tumors may do poorly with ECT, reinforcing the importance of excluding these lesions." @default.
