摘要
Temporal lobe and limbic structures may be abnormal in bipolar disorder. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans frequently show deep white matter lesions. MRI was performed on 50 young (19-39 years) euthymic patients with bipolar disorder and 26 controls. Mean temporal lobe volumes were reduced in patients (right, 9.42 cm(3); left, 6.33 cm(3)) but this could not be ascribed to a specific structure, Deep white matter lesions were present in 5 patients but no controls raising questions of their aetiological significance.
