[Late improvements in chronic schizophrenics].
The author raises the issue of patients' late improvement with chronic schizophrenia. Five out of 289 reassessed chronic schizophrenics--1.7% of that population--have been found improved. Two cases are described in detail and finally some hypotheses are suggested in relation to the possible mechanisms underlying these rare courses of schizophrenia.
