Late paraphrenic patients had greater lateral and third ventricle volumes than controls and the left lateral ventricle was larger than the right. When the patients were divided into appropriate ICD-10 diagnoses: paranoid schizophrenia (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 31) and delusional disorder (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 16), lateral ventricle volumes in the delusional disorder patients were much greater than those of the schizophrenics and almost twice those of controls.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Structural brain differences underly diagnostic heterogeneity within late paraphrenia.
