A comprehensive quantitative computed tomography (CT) study of the diencephalic region of 23 chronic schizophrenic patients and 23 normal controls was done. The third ventricle width, the Sylvian fissure widths, and the densities of the head of the caudate nucleus, thalamic nucleus, and medial temporal lobe were measured. In the schizophrenic patients, there was a significant increase in third ventricle and Sylvian fissure widths and a significantly greater density of both periventricular nuclei. The several explanations for this atypical association of atrophy with greater density are discussed.
对23名慢性精神分裂症患者和23名正常对照者的间脑区域进行了全面的定量计算机断层扫描（CT）研究。测量了第三脑室宽度、大脑外侧裂宽度以及尾状核头部、丘脑核和颞叶内侧的密度。在精神分裂症患者中，第三脑室和大脑外侧裂宽度显著增加，脑室周围核的密度也显著更高。文中讨论了这种萎缩与更高密度的非典型关联的几种解释。
