Neurological soft signs in adolescents with first episode psychosis: two-year followup.
Neurological soft signs were assessed in 24 first episodes of early onset psychosis and 30 healthy adolescents over a 2-year period. Patients presented more neurological soft signs than controls and showed a significant decrease in some Neurological Evaluation Scale scores over the followup period. This decrease in the patient group was influenced by changes in symptomatology.
