Abstract

- We report on two pre-adolescent boys with a combination of severe seizure disorders and severe-moderate autism who underwent brain surgery for their epilepsy at the ages of 9 and 10 years, respectively. Both boys became seizure-free and initially improved dramatically with regard to autism symptoms. One of the boys continued to improve, but the other had a relapse to his pre-operative state in conjunction with his pubertal growth spurt. Several years after surgery, one of the boys remained much improved with respect to his autism. The other subject showed some improvement with respect to self-injury and aggression, and had slightly lower scores on screens for autism symptoms than in the year preceding epilepsy surgery. The histopathological examination of the brain tissue that was removed at surgery suggested a diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis in both cases.
