title: Differences in CT findings within schizophrenics may be due to varying severity of the illness.
abstract: The authors investigated the importance of severity and duration of illness in schizophrenia with regard to findings on computerised tomographic (CT) scans. Two groups are compared, one from a state hospital's chronic ward and the other group from a university hospital. They provide evidence to propose increased ventricular size is an indicator of severity of illness.
