Autistic-Like Traits in Pena-Shokeir Syndrome.

Autistic-Like Traits in Pena-Shokeir Syndrome. J Autism Dev Disord. 2018 Nov 14;: Authors: Kalınlı M, Ekinci Ö, Güneş S, Ekinci N Abstract Pena-Shokeir syndrome (PSS) is a rare, early lethal disease. PSS is characterized by fetal growth restriction, craniofacial deformities, multiple ankyloses and pulmonary hypoplasia. Because of the primary concern of physical health problems, psychiatric evaluation is frequently underestimated in PSS patients. Our case report describes a child with PSS who presented with autistic spectrum disorder symptoms. PMID: 30430318 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
