- A case of a five-year-old boy with Moebius syndrome, mild-moderate mental retardation and childhood psychosis (possibly infantile autism) is described. This is probably the first case ever of concomitant Moebius syndrome and childhood psychosis to be reported. Brainstem dysfunction is proposed as a common denominator in the neurologic and psychiatric syndrome.

Epilepsy presenting as infantile autism? Two case studies.

In: Neuropediatrics. - : Georg Thieme Verlag KG. - 0174-304X .- 1439-1899. ; 14:4, s. 206-212
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Two cases diagnosed as suffering from infantile autism are described. Underlying epileptogenic changes in the EEG were not disclosed until relatively late in the course of the psychiatric disorder. Anticonvulsive pharmacological treatment led to complete disappearance of psychotic symptoms and to simultaneous disappearance of the pathological EEG changes. Alternative mechanisms are proposed to account for the clinical phenomena.

Positive effect of a late introduced modified diet in an 8-year-old pku child.
- 1980
-
In: Neuropadiatrie. - : Georg Thieme Verlag KG. - 0028-3797. ; 11:1, s. 76-9
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A modified low phenylalanine diet was instituted in an 8-year-old PKU boy earlier untreated and mentally retarded. The boy was treated during a ten year observation period. A marked progress in mental capacity and in IQ scoring was seen. The difficulties in objective evaluation of the benefit of late introduced treatment with a diet low in phenylalanine is discussed.
