The evaluation of suspected neuropsychiatric disorder in a series of 17 patients is described. The heuristic value of DSM-III's multiaxial approach is noted. The use of routine and neuropsychological tests, EEGs, CAT scans, T-3 and T-4 tests, and lumbar puncture, in conjunction with prolonged behavioral observation in a stable, therapeutic milieu, provided the means for clarification of neuropsychiatric illness in this series of complex cases. The value of CAT scans, neuropsychological tests and of prolonged behavioral observation in selected cases is discussed.
本文描述了对17例疑似神经精神障碍患者的评估情况。文中指出了《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版(DSM-III)多轴诊断方法的启发价值。在稳定的治疗环境中,结合常规检查、神经心理学测试、脑电图、计算机断层扫描(CAT)、T3和T4测试以及腰椎穿刺,并进行长期行为观察,为明确这一系列复杂病例中的神经精神疾病提供了方法。文中还讨论了CAT扫描、神经心理学测试以及在特定病例中进行长期行为观察的价值。
