Este grupo intermedio de psicosis: caracterizado por su inicio agudo, curso usualmente breve, sintomatolog赤a polim車rfica y recuperaci車n sin defecto, ha sido concebido en diferentes escuelas psiqui芍tricas mediante diferentes conceptos: en tal sentido, el constructo de Psicosis Cicloides, proveniente de la psiquiatr赤a alemana, ha demostrado validez y se halla engarzado en un sistema diagn車stico heur赤sticamente valioso (el de Wernicke-Kleist-Leonhard). A prop車sito de dos casos representativos, revisamos la literatura pertinente y resaltamos la necesidad de considerar esta posibilidad diagn車stica, a fin de evitar prolongados y potencialmente perjudiciales tratamientos antipsic車ticos, prescritos bajo hip車tesis incorrectas y gravosas. Cases of acute psychosis which during longitudinal follow-up did not meet criteria for schizophrenic psychosis or affective psychosis are common in clinical practice; however, those cases can be classified into diagnostic categories that are not sufficiently representative of their nosological individuality. This intermediate group of psychosis: characterized by acute onset, usually brief course, polymorphic symptomatology and recovery without defect, has been conceived in different psychiatric schools through different concepts: in this sense, the construct of Cycloid Psychoses, original from German psychiatry, has demonstrated validity and is embedded in a heuristically profitable diagnostic system (the Wernicke-Kleist-Leonhard classification). Apropos of two representative cases, we review here the relevant literature and highlight the need to consider this diagnostic possibility - not fully considered in the present diagnostic systems yet- in order to avoid prolonged antipsychotic treatments based on unnecessarily ominous nosological hypothesis. %K Trastornos psic車ticos %K Esquizofrenia y trastornos con caracter赤sticas psic車ticas %K Psychotic disorders %K acute and transient psychotic disorders %K schizophrenia %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0717-92272012000200004
