Study of Intelligence in Cerebral Infarction Patients / 中国临床心理学杂志

ABSTRACT

To observe the changes of intelligence in cerebral infarction patients, and to explore the relationship between intelligence and brain CT feature. Methods:The intelligence was measured by WAIS-RC in 80 cerebral infarction patients.Results:The VIQ and FIQ reduced significantly in the patients with hypertension. FIQ in patients with diabetes mellitus and PIQ in patients with cerebral vesscular disease histories reduced significantly. The PIQ reduced significantly in the patients of right focus on CT. VIQ, PIQ and FIQ reduced significantly in patients of cerebral cortices involved. But the number of focus, thalamus involved and cerebral atrophy were of no significance.Conclusion:The intelligence of the cerebral infarction patients companying hypertension, diabetes mellitus and several cerebral vesscular disease histories was impaired significantly. Cerebral cortices involed was the most important factor among the features on CT relating to intelligence quotient.
