[Agonal remission in the terminal stages of schizophrenia].

The study is concerned with 3 cases of agonal remissions in schizophrenic patients following a long-term stable terminal state against the background of severe somatic disorders. During these states the behaviour, speech and emotional reactions of the patients became normalized. However, there was an insufficient insight to the psychoses. The authors mark a special psychopathological disorder named as a schizophrenic ecmnestical shift. The patients allocated the age of their closest relatives and some - times the current year approximately to the time of the onset of the disease. In this relation the authors discuss the problems of the possibility and borderlines of a reverse development of severe deterioration states, the correlation between the functional and organic conditions in schizophrenia.
