ZAFEIRIOU, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1470-1476 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Genetic syndromes  Metabolic  Epilepsy  Macrocephaly Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this study is to describe clinical and laboratory data, as well as comorbid disorders in Greek children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Data were retrospectively collected for 222 children aged 1.5–9 years. The mean age at diagnosis was 43.7 ± 17.6 months. Significantly earlier diagnoses were noted in children with comorbid disorders (epilepsy, hearing deficits, genetic/metabolic disorders), mental retardation and a large head circumference (HC). Macrocephaly (HC ≥ 97th percentile) was found in 21.2% of children, genetic and metabolic disorders in 11.7% and 2.7% respectively and mental retardation in 23%. Patients with certain clinical features (i.e. syndromic) are earlier diagnosed. It is of ultimate importance to promptly identify all children with ASD, probably through the appliance of screening and surveillance programs in the Greek population.

A review of co-occurrence of autism spectrum disorder and Tourette syndrome / Efrosini KALYVA in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 24 (April 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 24 (April 2016) . - p.39-51 Titre : A review of co-occurrence of autism spectrum disorder and Tourette syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Efrosini KALYVA, Auteur ; Maria KYRIAZI, Auteur ; Efthymia VARGIAMI, Auteur ; Dimitrios I. ZAFEIRIOU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.39-51 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorder  Tourette syndrome  Tic disorder  Comorbidity  Prevalence  Diagnostic criteria Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Abstract This paper reviews the co-occurrence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Tourette syndrome (TS). ASD and TS are neurodevelopmental disorders with genetic etiologies that are more common in males and characterized by repetitive motor behaviors. However, they also have many differences, such as the age of onset or the functional use of stereotypies in ASD. This systematic review reveals that the co-occurrence of ASD and TS is around 4–5% and the co-occurrence of ASD and tic disorder (TD) ranges from 9–12%. The comorbidity prevalence rates vary according to the level of ASD severity (with comorbidity of high-functioning ASD and TS reaching 20%); the diagnostic processes; the sample size (smaller sample sizes produce higher prevalence rates); the recruitment setting (population or clinic-based); and the difficulty in practically and effectively distinguishing tics from stereotypies. The impact of the recent changes in the diagnostic criteria and definitions of both TS and ASD are discussed together with suggestions for further research. The clinical importance of examining comorbidity is emphasized.
