    This study found no significant differences in ventricular size between individuals with schizophrenia and controls using CT scans. Younger age and shorter hospitalization may influence these findings, contrasting with prior research.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimaging
    • Psychiatry
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Previous studies suggest ventricular enlargement in schizophrenia.
    • Understanding brain structural differences is crucial for schizophrenia research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate ventricular size differences in schizophrenia using CT.
    • To compare linear and volumetric measurements between schizophrenic patients and controls.

    Main Methods:

    • Computed tomography (CT) scans analyzed for 11 schizophrenics and 26 controls.
    • Linear (Evan's, cella media ratios) and volumetric (planimetry, grid ratios) ventricular measurements were performed.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in ventricular size were observed between schizophrenic and control groups across all measures.

  • Findings contrast with previous reports of ventricular enlargement in schizophrenia.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ventricular size may not be consistently enlarged in all schizophrenia patient cohorts.
    • Factors like younger age and shorter hospitalization duration might be associated with the lack of observed ventricular enlargement.
