High Resolution CT Scanning in Infantile Autism: A Quantitative Approach

Thirteen autistic and 10 control children were studied with high resolution computerized tomographic (CT) scans. Linear and volumetric measurements of ventricles, subarachnoid cisterns and head size were made. Evidence of subtle differences between autistic and control children with marked variance...

Zusammenfassung:	Thirteen autistic and 10 control children were studied with high resolution computerized tomographic (CT) scans. Linear and volumetric measurements of ventricles, subarachnoid cisterns and head size were made. Evidence of subtle differences between autistic and control children with marked variance within the autistic group when compared to the control group was revealed. This study confirms previous reports of heterogeneity in brain structure in autism. New and more sophisticated technology now permits a more quantitative approach to regional brain structural features than has been feasible in the past.
