Abstract
Nineteen DSM-III-R schizophrenic patients and 15 normal subjects, matc hed for sex and age, were evaluated according to their clinical and co rpus callosum structural characteristics. They were evaluated on their size of callosum by means of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Neither diag nosis nor sex significantly affects corpus callosum indices. Statistic al analysis evidentiates a relationship between DSM-III-R axis-V score s and corpus callosum length in schizophrenics, and between age at ons et of the illness and corpus callosum length in schizophrenics.
