We describe the stability of neuropsychologic testing in a 16-year-old boy with cerebellar dysgenesis who received 61 acute and maintenance electroconvulsive therapy treatments for malignant catatonia. Measures of nonverbal intelligence and visual memory before treatment onset and after 61 electroconvulsive therapy treatments indicated no evidence of decline in intellectual functioning and acute or delayed memory. This case offers further support for the safety and efficacy of maintenance electroconvulsive therapy in both pediatric and developmentally disabled populations.
我们描述了一名 16 岁小脑发育不良男孩的神经心理测试稳定性，他因恶性紧张症接受了 61 次急性和维持电抽搐治疗。治疗前和 61 次电抽搐治疗后的非言语智力和视觉记忆测量均表明智力功能没有下降，也没有急性或延迟性记忆丧失。该病例进一步支持了维持性电抽搐治疗在儿科和发育障碍人群中的安全性和有效性。
