A 12-year-old boy with an acute exacerbation of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms and tics following a Group A B-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) throat infection is reported from the National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD.
Highlights
FSHD with chromosome 9p deletion is reported in a 31-year-old man who had congenital anomalies and mental retardation studied at Oita Medical University, Hasama-machi Oita 879-55, Japan. (Ueyama H et al Neurology Feb 1996;46:566-569)
Whereas ventricular volume increased significantly with age for normal subjects, no age-related changes were found in ADHD subjects
Within the ADHD group, Full-Scale WISC-R IQ. score correlated with total cerebral volume
Summary
FSHD with chromosome 9p deletion is reported in a 31-year-old man who had congenital anomalies and mental retardation studied at Oita Medical University, Hasama-machi Oita 879-55, Japan. (Ueyama H et al Neurology Feb 1996;46:566-569). QUANTITATIVE MRI CHANGES IN ADHD Anatomic brain MRIs for 57 boys with ADHD and 55 healthy matched controls, aged 5 to 18 years, were compared at the National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, MD. ADHD subjects had a 4.7% smaller total cerebral volume, a significant loss of normal right>left asymmetry in the caudate nucleus, smaller right globus pallidus, smaller right anterior frontal region, smaller cerebellum, and reversal of normal (I>R) lateral ventricular asymmetry.
