*Ewa Ogłodek, Aleksander Araszkiewicz

Summary
Language disturbances, along with formal thinking disturbances, form one of the basic criteria of diagnosing schizophrenia. One of the language disturbances described in the literature is schizophasia, which is associated with disorders in the functioning of cerebral structures. The aim of this study was to analyse language disturbances in a 60-year-old female patient with paranoid schizophrenia. The examined patient achieved a score of 10 points on the Short Evaluation Scale of Schizophasia, which is proof of an acute phase of schizophasia. High intensity of schizophasia symptoms is often associated with a bad prognosis of a psychotic disease.
