老年心理医生通常进行家访，通常是在不寻常的情况下，有时甚至是在具有挑战性的情况下。我们报道了一次对动物园的家访，看到了一个不寻常的病例，一只49岁的困惑的大猩猩。诊断为脑梗塞后精神错乱，随后经尸检证实。我们描述了一种灵长类观察量表，它被用来评估这种情况下的认知，这可能有助于使用时，需要对灵长类的认知评估。
Psychogeriatricians commonly undertake home visits, often under unusual and sometimes challenging circumstances. We report a home visit to a zoo to see an unusual case, a 49-year-old confused gorilla. A diagnosis of post-infarct delirium was made, subsequently validated by autopsy. We describe a primate observation scale which was used in the assessment of cognition this case, which may be helpful for use when cognitive assessment of primates is required.
