ABSTRACT

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is common and frequently disabling psychiatric disorder. The onset of OCD is usually in adolesence and early adulthood. In literature there are limited case reports which were investigating the association between frontal brain tumors and OCD. In this paper, we report a case who developed late onset OCD after resection of a frontal menengioma.
