The author reported three cases of Ganser´s syndrome; two males in their twenties and forties. and one female. sixties. All three cases had been hospit:~lized in Kyungpook university hospital during last three years, and complete psychiatric study with application of clinical psychologic testing in one case was made.
The clinical course of three cases was brief and rather episodic in its nature recovering after only around 15 days of treatments respectively with no lasting residue.
Typical symptoms of Vorbeireden (approximate answer) and amnesia with loss of personal. identity were observed in all three cases, while symptoms of ludicrousness in two cases only. Other symptoms included clouding of consciousness, hallucination and depressive mood, etc.
As to the precipitating factors, overwhelming emotional upset superimposed by legal problems in two male cases, and guilt provoking sexual arousal in the female patient in her sixties could be identified.
