[Cerebral atrophy, diagnosed by tomodensitometry, versus Rorschach organic psychosyndrome in a psychiatric population].

In a psychiatric service, this study compares results for the psycho-organic syndrome diagnosed with the Rorschach test to results from brain CT Scan in two groups (20 patients with cerebral atrophy and 20 patients with normal CT Scan). Our results are consistant with previous results mainly for patients with cerebral atrophy as demonstrated by neuro-radiological techniques. Significant differences appear in the discriminative value of isolated signs, a finding which should help in the future to establish a new classification of psycho-organic syndromes associated with cerebral atrophy.
