Methods Case report. Results We report a case of CADASIL in an Asian female presenting with frank psychotic symptoms. After resolution of her psychosis, she showed persistent distractibility, which indicated signs of cognitive impairment. Conclusion Although neuropsychiatric symptoms are commonly present in this disorder, psychotic symptoms are rare and should be recognized.
