This is a retrospective case series of pediatric patients referred to the psychogenic nonepileptic events clinic (PNEE) who had comorbid diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or intellectual disability (ID). We describe 15 patients, nine with ASD and six with ID who had a telephone visit follow-up at 12 months. There were higher rates of male gender (40%) and comorbid epilepsy (53%) compared to the larger PNEE cohort. Eleven patients were available for follow-up and ten patients had improvement in events or were event-free. We report that patients with ASD or ID can develop PNEE and experience improvement from events.
这是一项回顾性病例系列研究，纳入了被转诊至心因性非癫痫性发作（PNEE）诊所的儿科患者，这些患者伴有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）或智力障碍（ID）共病诊断。我们描述了 15 名患者，其中 9 名患有 ASD，6 名患有 ID，并在 12 个月时进行了电话随访。与更大的 PNEE 队列相比，这些患者中男性（40%）和共患癫痫（53%）的比例更高。11 名患者可进行随访，10 名患者的发作得到改善或无发作。我们报告称，ASD 或 ID 患者可出现 PNEE 并从发作中得到改善。
