Abstract

A clinico-radiological assessment of seven high-dose long-term heroin addicts was undertaken to look for the presence of neuropsychological and CT scan pathology. Definite abnormalities were found in both neuropsychological and CT scan assessments in some individuals but the pattern of CT scan and neuropsychological deficit in relation to heroin addiction was not constant.
