Silent Cerebral Infarctions in Patients with Late-Onset Mania Stroke 26:946-949, Fujikawa,T.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The incidence of SCIs in patients with late-onset mania was 65.0%this incidence was significantly higher than that of patients with early-onset affective disorders(P<.05).The incidence of the mixed type of SCI was 50. 0%in patients with late-onset mania;this was significantly higher than that in patients with late-onset major depression(P<.05).Our findings suggest that approximately half of the cases of late-onset mania might be secondary mania related to SCIs.Because the mixed type of SCI is more prevalent in the patients with late-onset mania than in those with late- onset major depression,mania may be associated with the larger areas of brain damage and hence may be a more serious form of affective illness than major depression.
