The authors determined brain ventricular size (ventricular brain ratio [VBR]) in 39 ambulatory adult mentally retarded individuals who did or did not require psychotropic medication for violent/destructive behavior. The mean VBR of mentally retarded patients who required psychotropic medication was significantly greater than the VBR of those who did not require such medication.
作者测定了39名非卧床成年智障者的脑室大小(脑室脑比率[VBR]),这些患者因暴力/破坏行为而服用或未服用精神药物。需要服用精神药物的智障患者的平均VBR显著高于不需要服用此类药物的患者。
