We highlight the profile of brain computerised tomography (CT) measures among Nigerian psychiatric patients for comparison with findings from developed countries, and study of the relationship between CT values and clinical variables.
Seven brain ventricle measures of 50 schizophrenic patients, 14 manic patients, and 41 healthy control subjects were compared.
Patients had a significantly higher mean Sylvian fissure area. The third ventricle of schizophrenic patients was significantly larger than those of control subjects. CT measures were not significantly correlated with duration of illness.
The so-called functional psychotic states are most probably associated with non-specific brain abnormality.
我们着重介绍尼日利亚精神病患者的脑计算机断层扫描（CT）测量结果，以便与发达国家的研究结果进行比较，并研究CT值与临床变量之间的关系。
比较了50名精神分裂症患者、14名躁狂症患者和41名健康对照者的七种脑室测量结果。
患者的大脑外侧裂平均面积显著更高。精神分裂症患者的第三脑室明显大于对照组。CT测量结果与病程无显著相关性。
所谓的功能性精神状态很可能与非特异性脑异常有关。
