Despite decades of investigation, it is unclear whether hippocampal volume is reduced in POE, perhaps due to small sample sizes and methodological limitations of past research.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study, we examined the volume of the total hippocampus, and the hippocampal head, body and tail, in a large cohort of patients with POE and patients with epilepsy without psychosis (EC). One hundred adults participated: 50 with POE and 50 EC. Total and subregional hippocampal volumes were manually traced and compared between (1) POE and EC; (2) POE with temporal lobe epilepsy, extratemporal lobe epilepsy and generalised epilepsy; and (3) patients with POE with postictal psychosis (PIP) and interictal psychosis (IP).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with EC the POE group had smaller total left hippocampus volume (13.5% decrease, p&lt;0.001), and smaller left hippocampal body (13.3% decrease, p=0.002), and left (41.5% decrease, p&lt;0.001) and right (36.4% decrease, p&lt;0.001) hippocampal tail volumes. Hippocampal head volumes did not differ between groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Posterior hippocampal volumes are bilaterally reduced in POE. Volume loss was observed on a posteroanterior gradient, with severe decreases in the tail and moderate volume decreases in the body, with no difference in the hippocampal head. Posterior hippocampal atrophy is evident to a similar degree in PIP and IP. Our findings converge with those reported for the paradigmatic psychotic disorder, schizophrenia, and suggest that posterior hippocampal atrophy may serve as a biomarker of the risk for psychosis, including in patients with epilepsy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp-2018-319396","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,16]],"date-time":"2019-05-16T19:05:36Z","timestamp":1558033536000},"page":"688-694","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Bilateral volume reduction in posterior hippocampus in psychosis of epilepsy"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"90","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2872-1112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James","family":"Allebone","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0992-1917","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Kanaan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jerome","family":"Maller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Terry","family":"O'Brien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saul Alator","family":"Mullen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Cook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sophia J","family":"Adams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Vogrin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David N","family":"Vaughan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alan","family":"Connelly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Kwan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S F","family":"Berkovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1750-5131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wendyl J","family":"D'Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Graeme","family":"Jackson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dennis","family":"Velakoulis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah J","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020050722344384000_90.6.688.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0404.1967.tb05714.x"},{"key":"2020050722344384000_90.6.688.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneurpsyc.1948.02310040002001"},{"key":"2020050722344384000_90.6.688.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.109.458.95"},{"key":"2020050722344384000_90.6.688.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0896-6974(95)00051-8"},{"key":"2020050722344384000_90.6.688.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.42.3.256"},{"key":"2020050722344384000_90.6.688.6","first-page":"895","article-title":"Psychotic syndromes in epilepsy","volume":"182","author":"McKenna","year":"1985","journal-title":"Am J Psychiatry"},{"key":"2020050722344384000_90.6.688.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0404.2004.00324.x"},{"key":"2020050722344384000_90.6.688.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Clancy MJ , Clarke MC , Connor DJ , et al .
