A comprehensive quantitative computed tomography (CT) study of the diencephalic region of 23 chronic schizophrenic patients and 23 normal controls was done. The third ventricle width, the Sylvian fissure widths, and the densities of the head of the caudate nucleus, thalamic nucleus, and medial temporal lobe were measured. In the schizophrenic patients, there was a significant increase in third ventricle and Sylvian fissure widths and a significantly greater density of both periventricular nuclei. The several explanations for this atypical association of atrophy with greater density are discussed.
