The article presents a case of a 32-year-old woman who has been experiencing episodes of musical obsessions for the past 12 years. The case highlights the importance of addressing stuck song syndrome due to its effects on the functioning of the patient. The psychopathological expressions of this condition in relation to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are described. The discussion provides distinction between the differential diagnoses of palinacousis, musical hallucinations, and musical obsessions. Lastly, the recognized treatment options for musical obsessions are explored.
