The etiological significance of sexual fantasies and conflicts in the genesis of conversion hysteria was established by Freud in 1895 (5). Since then the link between fantasy and conversion has occupied considerable psycho-analytic interest (3).

(4), (8). I should like to reaffirm this with the case just presented.
