摘要
objective: in this study, our objective was to report a patient with an apparent diagnosis of delayed-onset posttraumatic stress disorder (ptsd) and the different dilemmas faced during the diagnostic process. method: case report. results: a female patient, aged 34, married, housewife, presented ptsd 25 years after the collapse of her home during a flooding. the condition emerged after press reports of similar events associated with the death of dozens of victims in a nearby town. conclusion: our case suggests that patients may develop conditions that bear resemblance to late-onset ptsd after re-exposure to events previously devoid of emotional impact.
