Abstract

|
The standard neurologic examination was performed to evaluate prevalence of abnormal findings and their clinical significance for schizophrenic patients. DSM-III-R diagnosed. Age-and sex- matched groups of 35 schizophrenic patients. 24 patients
with
bipolar affective disorder with history of psychosis, 26 patients hospitalized for alcohol dependence or other drug abuse. And 33 normal volunteers were the subjects. All three patient groups had significantly more total abnormalities than normal
control group. but there were no significant differences when patient groups were compared with each other. When the findings due to medication or others unrelated to the pathogenesis of psychiatric illness were excluded. The differences between
the
differences between the following groups. i. e. the schzophrenic group vs normal control group. schizophrenic group vs bipolar affective disorder group. and alcohol dependence and other drug abuse group vs normal control group, remained
significant
When
those neurologic abnormalities indicating localized dysfunction of the corticospinal tracts. Basal ganglia. or cerebellum were considered. Only two pairs showed significant differences. They were schizophrenic group vs normal control group and
alcohol
dependence and other drug abuse group vs normal conrol group.
