“…Several studies have documented that patients with schizophrenia have an increased rate of enlarged cavum septum pellucidum (CSP) compared to healthy control groups (DeGreef et al, 1992a;DeLisi et al, 1993;Jurjus et al, 1993;Scott et al, 1993;Nopoulos et al, 1996;Galarza et al, 2004;Filipovic et al, 2005) while this was not replicated in a recent study (Rajarethinam et al, 2007). Earlier and recent studies have attempted to examine relationships between CSP measures and clinical and demographic variables (Jurjus et al, 1993;Mathew et al, 1985;Shioiri et al, 1996), symptoms (Mathew et al, 1985;Nopoulos et al, 2000), duration of illness (Fukuzako et al, 1996;Mathew et al, 1985), family history of illness (Uematsu and Kaiya, 1989), intellectual functioning (Nopoulos et al, 2000). While some studies have not documented any relationships between these variables and presence of CSP (DeLisi et al, 1993;Galarza et al, 2004;Jurjus et al, 1993;Rajarethinam et al, 2001;Shioiri et al, 1996), few have found intriguing evidence.…”
