AbstractThe genetic basis for several hereditary periodic fever syndromes has been identified and consequently, the phenotypic spectrum of these disorders has broadened. We describe a young woman with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), proven by mutational analysis, who presented with psychosis but without fever, symptom periodicity, or similar family medical history. This patient represents the first case of TRAPS-associated psychosis. This case illustrates the importance of mutation analysis for this group of disorders in individuals presenting with unexplained inflammatory symptoms and recurrent psychoses.
