รายละเอียด / Details:

Abstract A pair of previously well eight-year old identical twin girls developed seizures and mental deterioration. They developed psychiatric symptoms that shared some characteristics of autistic syndrome and other childhood psychoses. Based on the evidences of encephalopathy from the EEG and evidences of inflammation in the CNS from the CSF examination, the most likely diagnosis was encephalitis. They might support the organic bases of autistic syndrome and other childhood psychoses.
