Abstract:
The Asperger syndrome, a less severe variant of autism, has drawn increasing interest among child psychiatrists. Cerebral blood flow studies with autistic subjects have failed to reveal consistent findings. We are reporting a case with the Asperger syndrome, whose single photon emission computed tomography showed left occipital hypoperfusion.
