Cortical sulcal enlargement in catatonic schizophrenia: a planimetric CT study.
To determine whether patients with catatonic schizophrenia have specific alterations in brain morphology, internal (ventricles) and external (frontal, temporal, parieto-occipital) components of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces were examined morphometrically. Planimetric measurements of computed tomographic (CT) scans from 37 patients with catatonic schizophrenia, 28 patients with hebephreni...

In the study schizophrenics have been divided into positive, negative and mixed subgroups on basis of SAPS and SANS, and these subgroups are compared with each other for VBR, WSF & WTF. Tomo...
متن کاملComputed tomographic assessment of left ventricular aneurysms.
Twenty patients with left ventricular aneurysms were studied by left ventricular angiography and computed tomography. Measurements of left ventricular short axis, percentage of non-aneurysmal myocardium, and size of aneurysm were determined by both techniques. Qualitative assessments of left ventricular size together with the anatomical relation of the aneurysm to the ventricle were also made. ...
متن کاملVentricular enlargement, neuropsychological status, and premorbid function in schizophrenia.
Ventricular enlargement is one of the most consistently documented neurobiological abnormalities in schizophrenia. The timing of the development of this abnormality in the course of schizophrenic illness and its relationship to neuropsychological dysfunction and premorbid adjustment is, however, unclear. To address these questions, we examined the relationship between ventricle-brain ratio (VBR...
متن کاملSymmetric abnormalities in sulcal patterning in schizophrenia
To compare the morphology of the cerebral cortex and its characteristic pattern of gyri and sulci in individuals with and without schizophrenia, T1-weighted magnetic resonance scans were collected, along with clinical and cognitive information, from 33 individuals with schizophrenia and 30 healthy individuals group-matched for age, gender, race and parental socioeconomic status. Sulcal depth wa...
