- Title
Regression in pervasive developmental disorders: seizures and epileptiform electroencephalogram correlates.
- Authors
Tuchman, R F; Rapin, I
- Abstract
Approximately one third of the parents of children with pervasive developmental disorders or autistic spectrum disorders reports an early regression of unknown cause in their children's language, sociability, and play. Seizures or an epileptiform electroencephalogram (EEG) are associated with language regression in acquired epileptic aphasia (Landau-Kleffner syndrome) and some other pediatric epileptic syndromes. The importance of epilepsy or epileptic EEGs as contributors to autistic regression is not known.
