Schizophrenic psychosis associated with aqueduct stenosis in adults

J K Roberts et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1983 Oct.

Abstract

The case histories of five adult patients with hydrocephalus and aqueduct stenosis are presented. All the cases were associated with prominent psychotic symptoms (delusions, hallucinations or thought disorder). In the three cases where operative intervention was carried out the diagnosis was made in adult life. Using the Present State Examination all five cases were classified as having schizophrenic psychosis. The possible reasons for this association are discussed.
