[One of the variants of lucid catatonia with long-term remissions].
The presentation concerns 10 observations of lucid catatonia and protracted remission. Among the group of schizophrenia these cases constitute only 0.8% of all cases. They are characterized by a prevalence of negative signs and catatonic disorders which can be alloted to the anergic pole and are seen during the entire development of the disease. The most striking feature of such cases is their "outpatient" development of the process. The protracted remissions (15-37 years) are characterized by an expressed defect without positive symptoms.
