Psychological comorbidity is patients with systemic diseases is common and clinically relevant: mental disturbances can complicate the course of treatment of such diseases, and may aggravate somatic morbidity. The duration of hospital stay may be increased and thus has a negative economic impact. In the last resort, mortality is also increased by the appreciably elevated risk of suicide among patients with severe somatic illnesses. The evaluation of psychiatric problems in patients hospitalized for the treatment of internal illnesses is undertaken mainly by a consultant specialist. In addition to the diagnostic categorization of the psychological disorder presenting, and recommendations for treatment, an evaluation of potential suicidal intent is of central importance.

We assessed the role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the detection of choroid plexus cysts. We reviewed more than 1000 patients who had undergone MRI in a 1-year period. We reviewed echo-planar DWI with b=1000 s/mm(2), acquired at 1.0 tesla, for any difference in signal intensity which might indicate choroid plexus cysts. On conventional images, all cystic lesions were isointense with cerebrospinal fluid, and 72 cysts could not be identified. On DWI, 90 rounded high-signal foci were detected in 58 patients; 64 cysts were bilateral. Focal ventricular expansion due to large cysts was observed in nine cases. DWI were found to show choroid plexus cysts undetected within the cerebrospinal fluid on conventional images.
