[Clinical independence of cenestopathic schizophrenia].
A total of 101 cases of schizophrenia, proceeding with a prevalence of cenesthopathic disorders were studied. The following 3 types of the cenesthopathical syndrome were distinguished: cenesthoalgic, cenesthopathic and cenesthocoenesthetic, which actually present a continuum of morbid symptons. The successive transition from one state to another is a clinical reflection of the progression of a pathological process. The patients with cenesthopathic schizophrenia develop more profound negative changes in comparison to hypochondriacal schizophrenia. In 62% of the cases these changes lead to invalidization (according to epidemiological data). The results permit to consider the cenesthopathic schizophrenia as an independent variant of the disease.
