Abstract
The case histories of 5 adult patients with hydrocephalus and aqueduct stenosis are presented. All the cases were associated with prominent psychotic symptoms (delusions, hallucinations or thought disorder). In the 3 cases where operative intervention was carried out, the diagnosis was made in adult life. Using the Present State Examination all 5 cases were classified as having schizophrenic psychosis. The possible reasons for this association are discussed.This publication has 37 references indexed in Scilit:
