Whether the brain structural abnormalities seen in schizophrenia are progressive is controversial. We previously reported on a longitudinal study of 50 first-episode patients with schizophrenia and 20 controls who had serial MRI scans during the first 5 years of illness. Greater enlargement of lateral ventricles and reduction of hemispheric volume was observed over time in the patients compared with controls. The present study obtained MRI scans from 26 of these patients and 10 controls at a follow-up 10 years subsequent to their first evaluations. The initial, 4-5th and 10th year scans were examined for the degree of change in ventricular and hemispheric volume. Significantly greater ventricular enlargement during the second 5 years was detected in the patient cohort compared with controls (P
