Abstract

Visuoperceptive and visuoconstructive tests were administered to three groups of schizophrenics who had undergone bilateral prefrontal leucotomy approximately 25 years earlier. A nonoperated schizophrenic patient group and a normal subject group served as controls for the effects of schizophrenic symptomatology and for age and education. The results demonstrated that orbital frontal white matter lesions do not disturb simple perceptions and constructions. The nonoperated schizophrenics had significant problems on many of the tests. Only one test, the WAIS Picture Arrangement, revealed deficits in all patient groups, including the good recovery leucotomized patients. This suggests impairment in the higher-order control and organization of perceptual material which may be secondary to orbital frontal white matter lesions or reflect aspects of the underlying schizophrenic disorder.

前额叶白质切开术对视觉感觉和视觉构建试验的影响。
对三组大约25年前接受过双侧前额叶白质切除术的精神分裂症患者进行了视觉感知和视觉构建测试。将未手术的精神分裂症患者组和正常受试者组作为对照,观察精神分裂症症状、年龄和受教育程度的影响。结果表明,眶额白质病变不干扰简单的感知和结构。未接受手术的精神分裂症患者在许多测试中都有明显的问题。只有一项测试,即WAIS图像排列,在所有患者组中都显示出缺陷,包括恢复良好的白质切除术患者。这表明高阶控制和知觉物质组织的损伤可能继发于眶额白质损伤或反映潜在精神分裂症障碍的某些方面。
