Abstract
The complete Koro complex in an elderly male Briton was associated with psychotic depression following a non-dominant temporoparietal stroke. As Koro lacks both cultural and diagnostic specificity, it would be more appropriately renamed the genital retraction symptom.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
