Data from adult schizophrenic patients suggest that patients with enlarged ventricles have a poorer premorbid history and may have an earlier onset of their illness than patients with ventricles of normal size. The authors examined a group of child psychiatric patients to discover whether these children at risk for major psychopathology had enlarged ventricles. Twenty psychiatric patients showed significantly enlarged ventricles compared with 19 control patients. There were no clear relationships between the children's psychiatric diagnosis and ventricular size.
成年精神分裂症患者的数据表明，脑室扩大的患者病前史较差，且发病时间可能比脑室大小正常的患者更早。作者对一组儿童精神病患者进行了检查，以确定这些有患严重精神病理学疾病风险的儿童是否存在脑室扩大的情况。与19名对照患者相比，20名精神病患者的脑室明显扩大。儿童的精神诊断与脑室大小之间没有明显的关系。
