The routine air ventriculograms of 66 psychiatric patients, aged from 22 to 73 years, taken during the psychosurgical operation of stereotactic subcaudate tractotomy, were studied. Ventricular size was unrelated to progressive ageing, but a minority of patients over 60 years had abnormally large ventricles, not invariably associated with cognitive impairment on testing. Enlargement was associated with a clinical diagnosis of schizoaffective illness but not with past ECT.
对66例年龄在22至73岁之间、接受立体定向尾状核下束切断术精神外科手术的精神病患者的常规气脑造影进行了研究。脑室大小与年龄增长无关，但少数60岁以上患者脑室异常增大，测试时并非都伴有认知障碍。脑室扩大与精神分裂情感性障碍的临床诊断相关，但与既往接受电休克治疗无关。
