title: [The psychopathological and clinical characteristics of paroxysmal and paroxysm-like states in the course of attack-like progressive schizophrenia].
abstract: The author presents the results of examining 70 patients with attack-like progressive schizophrenia. The clinical picture of the disease was characterized by the combination of endogenous disorders and paroxysmal and paroxysm-like disturbances. The study of the structure of paroxysmal and paroxysm-like conditions revealed their diversity and certain specific features as compared to analogous paroxysms seen in the clinical picture of epilepsy. In addition to the clinical and psychopathological characteristics, the dynamics of personality disorders, this study may provide evidence in favour of a special variant of the endogenous process and will make it possible to provide more well-defined criteria, on the basis of which one can differentiate the character of paroxysmal and paroxysm-like conditions.
