Abstract

Twelve male patients with chronic drug consumption including cannabis (ICD = 304.3) and morphine (ICD = 304.7), who required inpatient treatment for drug-induced paranoid hallucinatory states (ICD = 292.1) were investigated using computed tomography for macroscopic structural changes in the brain. The findings were compared with those in a control group of schizophrenic patients who did not consume drugs. The brain scans were measured and not show any significant morphological differences between the two groups.
