EEG Abnormalities in Autism: What is the Significance?
نویسنده
چکیده
The first electroencephalographic (EEG) study in autism was published in 1964, and it reported EEG abnormalities in 58% of the autistic children studied [1], later research focused on epileptiform EEG abnormalities. In examining the prevalence of epileptiform abnormalities in all autistic patients, irrespective of clinical seizure history, wide variants in prevalence rates were obtained, ranging from 10.3% to 72.4% [2]. However, epileptiform abnormalities also exist in normal children and have a prevalence range of 1.5 5% [3].

The significance of these abnormalities is unclear. Although studies do not all agree, there may be some association between cognitive function, behavior, and the presence or absence of epileptiform discharges. Small...
