    The document discusses Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), which includes several conditions characterized by impaired social and communication skills and repetitive behaviors. PDD includes autism, Asperger's disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, and Rett syndrome. While the cause is often unknown, risk factors include genetics and brain abnormalities. Diagnosis involves impaired social interaction, communication, and restricted behaviors and interests. Management focuses on early intervention, education, therapy, and medications to reduce problem behaviors. Prognosis depends on underlying causes, speech development, and intelligence, with most requiring long-term support.

    Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)

    Dr. Rismarini, SpA

    Introduction
    The term PDD denotes a group of disorders with the common findings of : Impairment of socialization skill, Speech & language deficits Characteristic behavioral abnormalities

    Currently grouped under Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs) in the DSM-IV : Autistic spectrum disorder (autism) Asperger disorder PDD Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) Childhood Disintegratif disorder Rett syndrom

    Introduction
    Autism is a behavioral syndrome of neurologic dysfunction, characterized by : Qualitative impairments in reciprocal social interaction, Qualitative impairments in verbal & nonverbal communication, Presence of stereotypic, restrictive, and repetitive patterns of behavior, interest, and activities

    Etiology

    No

    known etiology can be found in

    80 90 % case

    Epidemiology
    Prevalence is 16 - 40 cases/10.000 schoolaged children, More boys than girls are affected (3-4 : 1 ) No predilection for any racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic group Age of onset : 25 % in the 1st yr. 50 % in the 2nd yr, 25 % after 2 yr

    Risk factors
    Genetics Brain disease (TORCH infections) Developmental Brain abnormalities (microcephaly, hydrocephalus) Metabolic diseases (PKU, MPS) Postnatally acquired destructive disorder (Encephalitis, Meningitis) Lead encephalopathy Neoplasm Genetic disorder (Tuberous sclerosis, fragile X Syndrome)

    Although

    there has been much debate over the past decade about possible link between vaccines or dietary factors and the onset of ASD, research studies have not supported these as causal factors

    Brain abnormalities

    Abnormal neurochemical findings abberant of dopamine functioning increased level of serotonin Abnormal neuroradiologic findings deficit in RAS structural cerebellar changes forebrain hippocampal lesion abnormalities in the prefrontal & temporal lobes area

    Clinical Manifestation
    Severe deficit in reciprocal social interaction, eg. Delayed or absent social smile, failure to antisipate interaction with caregivers, lack of attention to a primary caregivers are often evident in the first year of life In todlers, deficiencies in imitative play and a relative lack of interest in interactions with others Eye contact is minimal or absent

    Clinical manifestation
    Impairments in communication Language development is quite delayed, nondeveloped or poorly developed verbal and nonverbal communication sklills Echolalic Abnormalities in speech pattern Impaired ability to sustain a conversation

    Clinical manifestation
    Behavioral peculiarities, Stereotypical body movements, restrictive, and repetitive pattern of behavior (twirling, hand-flapping) A marked need for sameness Self-injurious behavior Tempertantrum Hyper or hypoactivity

    Clinical manifestation
    Abnormal patterns of eating and sleeping Unpredictable mood changes Bizzare responses to sensory stimuli Mouthing of objects Diminished responses to pain About 60 - 70% have IQ below 70

    Diagnosis
    1. Impaired reciprocal social interaction (at least 2). - Lack of social or emotional reciprocity - Impaired ability to make peer friendships - Lack of seeking of share enjoyment or interest - Absent or impaired imitation - Absent or abnormal social play

    Diagnosis

    2. Impaired communication and imaginative activities (at least 1) - Absent communication - Abnormal nonverbal communication - Absent imaginative activity - Abnormal speech production - Abnormal speech content - Inability to initiate or sustain conversation

    Diagnosis

    3. Restricted repertoire of activities & interest (at least 1) - Stereotiped body movements - Persistent preoccupation with object - Distress with environmental change - Insistence on following routines - Restricted range of interest

    Differential Diagnosis
    Hearing impairment Developmental language disorder Asperger disorder PDD-NOS Retts syndrome Childhood disintegrative disorder Schizophrenia Undifferentiated mental retardation

    Asperger disorder

    Impairments in social interaction and restricted interest/ repetitive behavior Should not have significant delays in cognitive, language, or self-help skills

    PDD-NOS
    Impairment in reciprocal social interaction along with impairment in communication skills, or restricted interest or repetitive behaviors Do not meet full criteria for autism due to mild or atypical symptoms

    Childhood disintegrated disorder


    Typical development for at least 2 years followed by regression in at least 2 of the following 3 areas : Social interaction Communication Behavior

    Rett syndrome
    A genetic syndrome caused by mutation on the X chromosome Affecting girls almost exclusively Development proceeds normally until 1 years, at which time language & motoric development regress and microcephaly becomes appearant

    Management
    A.

    Early intervention : Special education communication therapy social skill behavioral management occupational therapy sensory integration intervention

    Management
    B. Atyphical antipsychotic medications. Risperidon 2 x 0,1 mg, Haloperidol 0,25 3 mg/kgBW/day, Thioridazine 0,5 3 mg/kgBW/day C. Diet casein and glutein free. D. Support for families

    Prognosis
    Autism is lifelong disorder. Major determinant of prognosis are : Presence or absence of an underlying disease of the brain and its acceptability to treatment Speech by age 5 years Intelligence

    Prognosis

    5 10 % will become independent adults 25 % will show notable developmental progress 65-70 % will continue to be substantially impaired and required a high level of going care
