Abstract
Mania occurs sometimes in association with an organic condition affect ing the brain. A case of a 15-year-old girl with secondary mania relat ed to multiple sclerosis is described, along with a selective review o f the subject. The English-language literature published from 1986 to 1994 was reviewed, but geriatric and mentally retarded cases were excl uded. This case points out that organic causes, often multifactorial, have to be kept in mind when treating patients who have mania.
