The Neuropsychiatric Aspects of Porphyria*

Abstract

The neuropsychiatric features of porphyria, together with the neuropathologic processes, are outlined. Ten cases histories, three with the neuropathologic findings at autopsy, are given; of these, six are cases of porphyria and four of porphyria without porphyrinuria. Certain features of the neuropsychiatric symptomatology are emphasized.
