DEMENTIA PARALYTICA ACCOMPANIED BY MANIC-DEPRESSIVE AND SCHIZOPHRENIC PSYCHOSES
Abstract
In five clinically and serologically typical cases of dementia paralytica, there developed features strongly suggestive of manic-depressive or schizophrenic psychoses.
Long-section studies of the cases pointed to the conclusion that these features were not merely a part of the neurosyphilitic disease but were manifestations of true manic-depressive and Schizophrenic psychoses which pursued their own lines of development independent of the organic disease. Anatomic observations available in one case supported this view.
It is believed that manic-depressive or schizophrenic psychoses accompany dementia paralytica too frequently to be regarded as accidental concomitants of the latter. Apparently they are directly provoked by the organic brain disease.
