Abstract

The purpose of this study (about 187 adult psychiatric patients) is to investigate correlations between "organic brain syndrome" (vascular or abiotrophic) and values of CSF proteins (technique of two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis). The authors show positive correlations between 'vascular' brain syndrome and increase of one alpha 2 globulin, between 'abiotrophic' brain syndrome and decrease in all globulins, the importance of brain damage and increase of IgG/albumin ratio.
