A retrospective case-control study was performed using the records of 59 catatonics, 59 non-catatonic schizophrenics, 59 manics, 59 depressives and 59 surgical controls. The findings suggest that prior brain injury and physical illness at onset of psychosis are much more common in subjects with catatonia. While these findings do not account for all cases of catatonia, they may indicate an aetiology for some phenotypic cases of catatonia.
我们利用59名紧张症患者、59名非紧张症型精神分裂症患者、59名躁狂症患者、59名抑郁症患者以及59名外科手术对照者的记录进行了一项回顾性病例对照研究。研究结果表明，既往脑损伤和精神病发作时的躯体疾病在紧张症患者中更为常见。虽然这些发现并不能解释所有紧张症病例，但它们可能为某些表型紧张症病例指明病因。
