Resumen
Introducción

La relación entre quemaduras y trastorno mental es compleja. Los trastornos mentales pueden predisponer a las quemaduras, y las quemaduras, facilitar la aparición de trastornos mentales.

Método

Reporte de casos y revisión de la literatura.

Resultados

Se presentan cuatro casos de mujeres con quemaduras autoinfligidas y síntomas psicóticos. El promedio de edad de estas mujeres fue de 39,2 años. La quemadura fue por llama en el 100% de los casos y el porcentaje de quemadura fue del 27,2% de superficie corporal total. Tres de las pacientes (75%) tenía un trastorno afectivo bipolar con síntomas mixtos y en el 50% de las pacientes la enfermedad mental debutó con la quemadura autoinfligida.

Conclusiones

En todo paciente quemado debe explorarse una psicopatología de base que explique la ocurrencia de las lesiones o pueda entorpecer el proceso de recuperación y rehabilitación posterior.

Palabras clave:
quemaduras
trastornos mentales
alucinaciones
Abstract
Introduction

The relationship between mental disorder and burns is complex. Mental disorders may predispose to burns and burns can facilitate the development of mental disorders.

Method

Case report and literature review.

Results

We present four cases of women with self-inflicted burns and psychotic symptoms. The average age of these women was 39.2 years. Burns were caused by flames in 100% of the cases and 27.2% of the total body surface was burned. Three of the patients (75%) had a bipolar disorder with mixed symptoms and in 50 of the patients the mental illness debuted with the self-inflicted burns.

Conclusions

Basic psychopathology that may explain the occurrence of the injury and could hamper the process of recovery and rehabilitation should be explored in all burned patients.

Key words:
Burns
mental disorders
hallucinations
