Abstract

Introduction: the majar resolution of MRI has been Msed to explore abnormaLities in specific brain structures, such as the amygdalalhippocampus, temporal lobes, or basal ganglia, in schizophrenic patients. Subjects and methods: we have selectioned 14 children diagnosed of Pervasive Developmental Disorder or of Childhood Onset Schizophrenia. It has been done a MRI with later measurement of dijferent cerebral structures. Results: the 80% of the whole (12 of 14 cases) showed similar brain abnormalities than tose described in schizophrenic adults. Conclusion: brain anatomic abnormalities in childhood-onset schizophrenia and in childhood onset Pervasive Developmental Disorder are similar to those reported for adult populations, suggesting overall continuity between these rare childhood cases and the adult schizophrenia populations.
