Why the study?
Are there cerebral blood flow abnormalities in young adults with infantile autism compared to controls when measured by high-resolution brain SPECT?
Are there cerebral blood flow abnormalities in young adults with infantile autism compared to controls when measured by high-resolution brain SPECT?
Young adults with infantile autism demonstrate globally and regionally decreased cerebral blood flow compared to controls when assessed with high-resolution brain SPECT.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Observed hypoperfusion in autism may reflect pathophysiology; leaves open SPECT diagnostic utility pending prospective studies.
George et al. (1992) studied this question.
