This study highlights a boy with language regression and autistic-like symptoms, whose condition improved with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) treatment, correlating with reduced EEG abnormalities.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Neurology
- Developmental Neuroscience
- Clinical Electrophysiology
Background:
- Language regression in early childhood can present with autistic-like features.
- Epileptiform abnormalities on electroencephalogram (EEG) may be associated with developmental regressions.
- Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a treatment option for certain neurological conditions.
