Abstract

Three patients with schizophrenia-like psychosis and two with schizoaffective-like psychosis who experienced cerebral trauma before the onset of their illness underwent clinical and magnetic resonance imaging evaluation. Each patient with a schizophrenia-like psychosis, but neither of those with a schizoaffective-like psychosis, showed abnormalities confined to or including the left temporal lobe. These observations complement recent findings in schizophrenia.
