This magnetic resonance imaging study demonstrates increased lateral ventricle volume (LVV) in adolescents and adults with bipolar disorder (BD) with psychotic symptoms, but not without psychosis, compared to healthy adolescents and adults. This suggests LVV is a morphologic feature associated with psychosis in BD, present by adolescence.
这项磁共振成像研究表明,与健康青少年和成年人相比,有精神病症状的青少年和成年双相情感障碍(BD)患者的侧脑室体积(LVV)增加,但没有精神病的患者则没有增加。这表明 LVV 是 BD 中与精神病相关的形态特征,在青少年时期就已经存在。
