Diagnostic abnormalities, disease severity and immunotherapy responsiveness in individuals with Down syndrome regression disorder.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Department of Neurology, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Introduction: Down Syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD) is a neuropsychiatric condition causing insomnia, catatonia, encephalopathy, and obsessive-compulsive behavior in otherwise healthy individuals with Down syndrome (DS). Smaller cohorts have identified heterogenous diagnostic abnormalities which have predicted immunotherapy responsiveness although pattern analysis in a large cohort has never been performed.
Methods: A multi-center, retrospective study of individuals with DSRD was performed.
The limited clinical utility of a routine creatine kinase (CK) on admission to a psychiatric inpatient unit.

Background: Creatine kinase (CK) is an intracellular enzyme expressed most commonly in tissues such as skeletal muscle. CK can be used as an investigation to support the diagnosis of conditions such as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), a rare idiosyncratic drug reaction - classically to antipsychotic medications - which can be fatal. Routine screening of CK in psychiatric inpatients is a known practice, but its value is uncertain.

Catatonia is a serious neuropsychiatric syndrome of motor and behavioral dysfunction where electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a well-proven treatment modality. ECT is also preferred as it is a low-risk procedure compared to chronic medications having significant side effects. However, the cardiovascular events that occur during ECT are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with an abnormal cardiovascular pathophysiology.

The differential diagnosis of neurocognitive and psychiatric disorders, particularly when symptoms overlap significantly, poses a substantial challenge in clinical practice. Parkinson's disease (PD), Lewy body dementia, and catatonia are distinct conditions that can present with similar motor and cognitive symptoms, complicating accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. We report the case of a 45-year-old male patient who presented for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) evaluation.
