Schizophrenic Patients

Since its inception (Hounsfield, 1973), computerised tomography (CT) has become an invaluable diagnostic and research tool, particularly in clinical neurology and neurosurgery. Clinically, CT has proved useful in differentiating between ‘functional’ and ‘organic’ psychiatric disorders where it is particularly helpful in the diagnosis of potentially treatable organic disorders. For example, Owens et al (1980) found clinically unsuspected intracranial pathology in 12 of 136 chronic schizophrenic patients examined by CT and Roberts & Lishman (1984) found diagnosis, management, and/or prognosis were influenced in approximately 12% of cases referred by psychiatrists for CT imagining.

Uncommon Condition

Ureteric fistula into the arterial tree is a well-recognised, but uncommon condition. The involvement of internal iliac artery is rare. We present a rare case of fistulous communication and subsequent infection of an internal iliac artery aneurysm and ureter secondary to insertion of ureteric stent following endovascular exclusion of the aneurysm and its management. Nephrostogram identified the fistula not seen on computerised tomography. This case highlights the awareness of such pathology allowing for prompt recognition of the condition and importance of appropriate imaging.

To Receive

To evaluate the utilisation of CT diagnostic imaging in patients admitted to hospital with a clinical diagnosis of stroke, and to identify factors which influence the use of CT imaging in stroke. Two hundred and fifty consecutive (155 females) stroke patients were assessed median age 76 years (range 39–95y). Ninety-seven patients underwent CT scanning; median time to scanfrom admission was two days (range 0–43). The time to CT scanning was significantly shorter in patients aged <65 years (p<0.001), and in patients with a non-disabling stroke (p<0.05). The factors (odds ratios and 95% confidence limits) significantly associated with CT scanning were male sex (2.21: 1.31–3.74); normal Glasgow coma score (2.48: 1.59–3.85); Rankin score 1 – 3 (6.40: 1.74–23.56); age <65 years (10.23: 4.49–23.32) and no previous cerebrovascular event (1.97: 1.10–3.51). In this study, those patients who would benefit most from medical intervention with antiplatelet agents to reduce the risk of recurrence were more likely to receive CT diagnostic imaging.
