[Long remissions in schizophrenia following single and serial episodes in adolescence (clinico-catamnestic study)].

The report is related to a study of 56 cases of schizophrenia with protracted remissions, following acute psychotic attacks in adolescence. A relatively high frequency of such attacks was established in adolescent attack-like schizophrenia (26.9%). It was possible to determine the clinical traits of such cases and the differences in the premorbid personality. The conclusion is made on the necessity of differentiated evaluation of the criteria of social and working prognosis in such cases.
