Article Synopsis
- Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is complicated due to the lack of biological markers and the presence of other disorders; this study aimed to improve diagnostic procedures using neuropediatric assessments.
- The study analyzed 82 patients with ASD at Saarland University Hospital, finding that EEG was the most common test, showing abnormal results in 33.8% of cases, and 19.5% were diagnosed with epilepsy based on EEG findings.
- It is recommended that neuropediatric evaluations for suspected ASD should include a detailed patient history, neurological exams, and EEG; MRI and other advanced tests should only be conducted when necessary.
