Previously, we found a lower NAA (N-acetyl aspartate)/CRE (creatine) ratio in conversion disorder patients, when compared to healthy controls. In this context, the present study was designed to determine the changes in hippocampal NAA, CHO (choline), and CRE values in conversion disorder female patients, which has similar symptom basement and hypothesize that the patients with conversion disorder would have also changed neurochemicals in their hippocampal regions.
