Report of Case First Admission (Nov 17, 1961).—
A 44-year-old woman was admitted to the Psychiatry Service at the Charity Hospital of New Orleans.

Her sister said that the patient had had headaches, memory loss, and progressive mental depression since February 1961. The patient attributed the headaches to a blow delivered by a falling board which had struck her forehead at the hairline. She was stunned but did not lose consciousness.
