Two hundred sixty studies of plain cranial CT of endogenous psychiatric disorders were analyzed. Data was compared with 93 cases with non-psychiatric diseases, which had CT studies in other hospital as the medical or surgical patients. They complained of headache, light headedness, or vertigo. As their CT films demonstrated no organic condition but some aging process, this group can be used as the control group in this instance. In the group of schizophrenia, significantly abundant incidence of abnormal study were observed even in young population. The aged patients of this condition showed more drastic changes on CT films. Some factors which influence these CT findings will be hopefully elucidated in future on the schizophrenic disorders. In the affective disorders, on the other hand, non-significant difference was shown when compared with the control group. Atypical psychosis cases were also analyzed but no significant data became available. The cavum septi pellucidi was also checked in this study. However, no distinct incidence of this condition was proved in the schizophrenia or other groups.
