Brief Report: Acrocallosal Syndrome and Autism
Steiner, Carlos Eduardo; Guerreiro, Marilisa Mantovani; Marques-de-Faria, Antonia Paula
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v34 n6 p723-726 Dec 2004
The authors describe a boy presenting with acrocallosal syndrome and autism. Clinical features included craniofacial dysmorphisms, polydactyly, and mental retardation, besides behavioral symptoms compatible with autism. Neuroimaging revealed hypoplasia of the corpus callosum and cerebellar abnormalities. The role of this entity and other associated conditions in autism may be coincidental or reveal new clues to the understanding of autism as a behavioral syndrome.
