[Structure of mental disorders of exogenous-organic etiology].

The clinical structure of mental disorders was studied by quantitative analysis techniques in 353 patients with exogenous organic diseases of the brain. The author identified the leading psychoorganic syndrome, as well as mental disorders of psychotic, hypopsychotic and neurotic levels. Disturbances of psychotic and hypopsychotic levels were subdivided into ones that were more characteristic of organic brain lesion (epileptic, psychosensory and affective) and those less typical of such lesion (hallucinatory delirious, hypochondriac and obsessive). The clinical structure is presented graphically.
