Brain stem encephalitic lesions and schizophrenia


M. Fisman

Abstract

Three cases with schizophrenic/schizophreniform psychosis are described. Encephalitic-type lesions were found in the brain stem on histological study, in all cases. The possible relationship of the encephalitic lesions to the development of schizophrenia is discussed. Further research on a larger scale is suggested.
