Frequency and status of depression and anxiety in mothers of children with inborn errors of metabolism with restricted diet, with and without risk of metabolic crises.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the frequency and status of depression and anxiety among mothers of children with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) who were on a restricted diet and previously experienced metabolic crises. METHODS: This cross-sectional multicenter descriptive study included 93 children with IEM who were on restricted diet. The patients were divided into two groups: those who had experienced metabolic crises (n=44, urea cycle defect, organic acidemia, maple syrup urine disease, hereditary fructose intolerance) and those who had not experienced previous metabolic crises (n=49; phenylketonuria, galactosemia, and non-ketotic hyperglycinemia). The control group comprised 37 healthy children. The mothers of the patients and control participants answered a questionnaire about their and their children's demographic and clinical characteristics and completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S and STAI-T). RESULTS: The maternal BDI, STAI-S, and STAI-T scores were 6.3±5.2, 36.1±11.2, and 39.9±8.8, respectively, in the control group. The maternal BDI, STAI-S, and STAI-T scores of the children who had experienced (19.2±9.7; 44.0±12.4; 47.9±10.6) and those who had not experienced (13.9±9.1; 40.7 ±8.6; 45.3±8.3) a crisis were significantly higher than for the controls. The BDI score was significantly higher for the mothers of children who had experienced a crisis (p=0.011), whereas no significant difference was determined between the two patient groups regarding STAI-S and STAI-T scores. The mothers of four children who had experienced metabolic crises were on antidepressant therapy. CONCLUSION: Although their children were on a similar restricted diet, the mothers of children who previously experienced or who had the risk of experiencing metabolic crises had higher depression scores as compared with the mothers of children who did not experience a previous crisis. Early supportive therapy may be required for the families of these patients to lower the burden of stress.

Considerations of expanded carrier screening: Lessons learned from combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria.

BACKGROUND: Expanded carrier screening (ECS) utilizes high-throughput next-generation sequencing to evaluate an individual's carrier status for multiple conditions. Combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria (CMAMMA) due to ACSF3 deficiency is a rare inherited disease included in such screening panels. Some cases have been reported with metabolic symptoms in childhood yet other cases describe a benign clinical course, suggesting the clinical phenotype is not well defined. METHODS/CASE REPORT: Clinical and laboratory findings during the prenatal period were obtained retrospectively from medical records. RESULTS: A 37-year-old nulliparous woman and her partner were each identified as carriers of ACSF3 variants and presented at 9 weeks gestation for prenatal genetic consultation. The couple received extensive genetic counseling and proceeded with chorionic villus sampling at 11 weeks gestation. Subsequent analysis confirmed that the fetus inherited both parental ACSF variants. The couple was devastated by the results and after reviewing options of pregnancy continuation and termination, they decided to terminate the pregnancy. Following this decision, the patient was diagnosed with acute stress disorder. CONCLUSION: This case highlights how expanded carrier screening adds complexity to reproductive decision-making. Stronger guidelines and additional research are needed to direct and evaluate the timing, composition, and implementation of ECS panels.

Health-related quality of life in paediatric patients with intoxication-type inborn errors of metabolism: Analysis of an international data set.

Acute intoxication-type inborn errors of metabolism (IT-IEM) such as urea cycle disorders and non-acute IT-IEM such as phenylketonuria have a major impact on paediatric patients' life. Patients have to adhere to a strict diet but may face neurocognitive impairment and - in acute diseases - metabolic decompensations nevertheless. Research on the subjective burden of IT-IEM remains sparse. Studies with appropriate sample sizes are needed to make valid statements about health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in children and adolescents with IT-IEM. Six international metabolic centres contributed self-reports and proxy reports of HrQoL (assessed with the Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory) to the final data set (n = 251 patients; age range 2.3-18.8 years). To compare HrQoL of the patient sample with norm data and between acute and non-acute IT-IEM, t tests were conducted. To examine the influence of child age, sex, diagnosis and current dietary treatment on HrQoL, multiple linear regression analyses were conducted. Self-reports and proxy reporst showed significantly lower HrQoL total scores for children with IT-IEM compared to healthy children. Current dietary treatment significantly predicted lower proxy reported total HrQoL. Children with non-acute IT-IEM reported significantly lower psychosocial health and emotional functioning than children with acute IT-IEM. The patient sample showed significantly impaired HrQoL and a diet regimen remains a risk factor for lower HrQoL. Differences in HrQoL between acute and non-acute IT-IEM subgroups indicate that factors beyond symptom severity determine the perception of disease burden. Identifying these factors is of crucial importance to develop and implement appropriate interventions for those in need.

Brief Report: Delayed Diagnosis of Treatable Inborn Errors of Metabolism in Children with Autism and Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders.

The objective of our study was to evaluate the frequency of treatable inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) in a clinical sample of Mexican children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Amino acids and acylcarnitines in blood samples of 51 unrelated children and adolescents were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry to detect treatable IEM of small molecules. One patient with isovaleric acidemia and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and another with beta-ketothiolase deficiency and ASD/intellectual disability/attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were diagnosed, indicating an IEM frequency of 3.9% (1:26 subjects). The high frequency of treatable IEM indicates the need to perform a minimum metabolic screening as part of the diagnostic approach for patient with NDD, particularly when newborn screening programs are limited to a few disorders.

A holistic approach to the patients/ Families with inborn errors of metabolism.

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis, treatment, and care of inborn errors of metabolism require well organized interdisciplinary teams. Holistic approaches comprise the system of all elements and relations between elements necessary for an optimal function of the system. METHODS: Following the rule "structure follows function" based on scientific, academic, and clinical experience the elements of the system providing diagnosis, treatment, and care for inborn errors of metabolism are defined and described. RESULTS: A holistic approach to inborn errors of metabolism comprising 10 elements is suggested, established, and controlled by an interdisciplinary metabolic team organized as a disease, and a case management program based on evidence-based guidelines is suggested. Quality assurance and quality control will not only improve the treatment of the individual but also the health system. CONCLUSION: The holistic approach is a joint project of the team of health care professionals and the person with a condition, allowing them to see the patient's individual medical, behavioral, social, legal, and economic context. For practical, technical, and economic reasons this will only be possible in centers caring for a critical number of individuals.

Attitudes towards Genetic Information Delivered by High-Throughput Sequencing among Molecular Geneticists, Genetic Counselors, Medical Advisors and Students in France.

High-throughput sequencing technologies performed in the clinical setting have the potential to reveal diverse genetic information. Whether it is initially targeted or unsolicited, strictly medical or not, or even information on a carrier status as part of preconception screening, access to genetic information needs to be managed. The aim of the current study was to gather potential attitudes of various stakeholders towards the sharing of genetic information from next-generation sequencing, and more specifically towards incidental findings, predictive findings, non-medical information and carrier status. Answers from a total number of 1631 individuals belonging to four different groups (45 molecular geneticists, 65 genetic counselors, 56 medical advisors to the state insurance plan, and 1465 university students) were collected through online questionnaires. Overall, the study reflects preferences towards the return of health risks related to serious diseases when effective treatment is available and information on reproductive risks. The importance of the perceived medical utility, both for disease prevention and treatment, was the main distinguishing feature. Attitudes from genetic health professionals were found more reluctant to receive a wide range of information. Hands-on experience with the practice of genetic testing is likely to influence perception of the utility of the genetic information that should be delivered. At the same time, perceptions of preconception genetic carrier screening brought out less differences between participants. Better understanding of the underlying interest in genomic information and thorough education on its value and usage are key elements to the adoption of future guidelines and policy that respect bioethical principles.

Development and feasibility of the use of an assessment tool measuring treatment efficacy in patients with trimethylaminuria: A mixed methods study.

Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) is a rare metabolic condition characterised by an unpleasant smell resembling rotting fish. Currently, the only measure of treatment efficacy is urine trimethylamine levels which do not always reflect the patient's experience of symptoms. A literature review did not find a specific tool to assess treatment efficacy from the patient's perspective. The aim of this study was to develop an assessment tool to provide a quantitative measure of treatment efficacy in patients diagnosed with TMAU before and after treatment and assess its acceptability (feasibility of use and face and content validity) to people living with TMAU. Mixed methods; a modified, four-round Delphi by email and semi-structured interviews conducted after clinical appointments. Delphi; Eight individuals living with TMAU from the TMAU forum, six medical consultants, and four dieticians in Metabolic Medicine in four National Health Service hospitals in England. Semi-structured interviews; three patients with TMAU in two National Health Service hospitals, United Kingdom. The assessment tool contains 27 items distributed across four domains; Odour characteristics with 6 items, mental well-being with 13 items, social well-being with 5 items, and healthcare professionals support with 3 items. Semi-structured interviews; views on the content and design of the tool. The co-produced tool was successfully developed and considered acceptable to people living with TMAU. While further testing is needed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the assessment tool, the tool may serve as a prompt for questioning for clinicians diagnosing and treating TMAU.

Psychiatric Disorders Secondary to Neurometabolic Disorders. / Trastornos psiquiátricos secundarios a enfermedades neurometabólicas.

Some diseases secondary to inborn errors of metabolism are associated with psychiatric disorders or minor neurological symptoms. The existence of some cases with exclusively psychiatric symptoms represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of this article is to describe seven treatable neurometabolic disorders that should be taken into account in the psychiatric consultation as they manifest with psychiatric symptoms that mask the organic origin of the disorder. Homocysteine metabolism and urea cycle disorders, Wilson's disease, Niemann-Pick disease Type C, acute porphyria and cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis are described. Following an analysis of the literature, a list of psychiatric symptoms associated with these disorders are proposed, ranging from insidious changes in affective state and thought to atypical symptoms such as visual hallucinations, as well as paradoxical effects of antipsychotics or behavioural disorders in children and adolescents associated with loss of autonomy. The most frequently associated neurological signs, such as alterations in the state of consciousness, motor behaviour and balance disorders, catatonia or progressive cognitive deficit are also listed. Emphasis is placed on the importance of considering resistance to antipsychotic treatment as a warning sign to suspect organicity, as well as the significant improvement in psychiatric impairment when effective and early treatment is established.

Role of Endogenous Metabolite Alterations in Neuropsychiatric Disease.

The potential role in neuropsychiatric disease risk arising from alterations and derangements of endogenous small-molecule metabolites remains understudied. Alterations of endogenous metabolite concentrations can arise in multiple ways. Marked derangements of single endogenous small-molecule metabolites are found in a large group of rare genetic human diseases termed "inborn errors of metabolism", many of which are associated with prominent neuropsychiatric symptomology. Whether such metabolites act neuroactively to directly lead to distinct neural dysfunction has been frequently hypothesized but rarely demonstrated unequivocally. Here we discuss this disease concept in the context of our recent findings demonstrating that neural dysfunction arising from accumulation of the schizophrenia-associated metabolite l-proline is due to its structural mimicry of the neurotransmitter GABA that leads to alterations in GABA-ergic short-term synaptic plasticity. For cases in which a similar direct action upon neurotransmitter binding sites is suspected, we lay out a systematic approach that can be extended to assessing the potential disruptive action of such candidate disease metabolites. To address the potentially important and broader role in neuropsychiatric disease, we also consider whether the more subtle yet more ubiquitous variations in endogenous metabolites arising from natural allelic variation may likewise contribute to disease risk but in a more complex and nuanced manner.

[Trimethylaminuria: 'Help, my child smells of fish!'] / Trimethylaminurie: 'Help, mijn kind ruikt naar vis!'.

BACKGROUND: Trimethylaminuria is caused by a functional enzyme defect and is usually congenital. This metabolic disease is characterised by body odour resembling fish. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 7-year-old boy was referred with abnormal body odour, which his mother described as resembling fish. This odour caused mainly social problems. Because of the characteristic odour trimethylaminuria was considered. Further metabolic investigations showed a high concentration of trimethylamine in the urine, consistent with this diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Trimethylaminuria is rare, but due to its psychological and social impact it is important that it is recognised. Although bad body odour is seldom a manifestation of a metabolic disease, it should always be included in the differential diagnosis.

Psychosocial impact on mothers receiving expanded newborn screening results.

Expanded newborn screening (NBS) for genetic disorders has improved diagnosis of numerous treatable diseases, positively impacting children's health outcomes. However, research about the psychological impact of expanded NBS on families, especially mothers, has been mixed. Our study examined associations between maternal experiences of expanded NBS and subsequent psychosocial functioning and parenting stress in mothers whose infants received either true negative (TN), true positive (TP) or false positive (FP) results after a 4- to 6-month period. The Parenting Stress Index and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale were used to assess symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression in 3 sets of mothers, whose infants received TN (n = 31), TP (n = 8) or FP (n = 18) results. Multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVA) results revealed no significant differences among these three groups of mothers regarding overall anxiety, stress and depression. However, FP mothers experienced lower levels of stress related to their own health compared to TN group. Two potential trends were also identified; results suggested TN mothers might experience higher levels of isolation than mothers in the TP group and that FP mothers might report higher stress levels in relation to spousal relationships compared to the TN group. FP mothers seemed to report similar or better levels of psychosocial functioning than TN mothers. Our findings are encouraging with respect to impacts of NBS on maternal well-being. We also identify key areas for improvement (parental education) and research (isolation and spousal relationships).

Development of glucocorticoid resistance over one year among mothers of children newly diagnosed with cancer.

Chronic distress associates with peripheral release of cortisol and a parallel upregulation of innate inflammation. Typically, cortisol functions to down-regulate inflammatory processes. However, in the context of chronic stress, it is hypothesized that glucocorticoid receptors within immune cells become less sensitive to the anti-inflammatory effects of cortisol, resulting in increased systemic inflammation. Caring for a child newly diagnosed with cancer is a particularly provocative chronic stressor. Here, we examine evidence for the development of cellular resistance to glucocorticoids among 120 mothers (Aged 18-56 years; 86% Caucasian) across the 12 months following their child's new diagnosis with cancer. Measures of psychological distress, interleukin (IL)-6, and glucocorticoid resistance (GCR) were assessed 1, 6, and 12 months after the diagnosis. A latent factor for distress was derived from the covariation among symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. Latent change score models revealed a significant positive association between change in distress and change in GCR from 0 to 6 months, and 6 months-1 year. This finding provides initial evidence for a longitudinal association between change in maternal distress and change in GCR from the onset of a chronic stressor through one year. Although levels of IL-6 increased during the first six months after the child's diagnosis, the magnitude of this change was not related to change in distress or change in GCR. Given the possible health consequences of reduced immune sensitivity to glucocorticoids, future work should further explore this stress response and its clinical significance.

Why are depressed patients inflamed? A reflection on 20 years of research on depression, glucocorticoid resistance and inflammation.

Studies over the last 20 years have demonstrated that increased inflammation and hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are two of the most consistent biological findings in major depression and are often associated: but the molecular and clinical mechanisms underlying these abnormalities are still unclear. These findings are particularly enigmatic, especially considering the accepted notion that high levels of cortisol have an anti-inflammatory action, and therefore the coexistence of inflammation and hypercortisolemia in the same diagnostic group appears counter-intuitive. To celebrate the 2015 Anna-Monika Foundation Award to our laboratory, this review will discuss our own 20 years of research on the clinical and molecular evidence underlying the increased inflammation in depression, especially in the context of a hyperactive HPA axis, and discuss its implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of this disorder.

Can psychiatric childhood disorders be due to inborn errors of metabolism?

Many patients who visit a centre for hereditary metabolic diseases remarkably also suffer from a child psychiatric disorder. Those child psychiatric disorders may be the first sign or manifestation of an underlying metabolic disorder. Lack of knowledge of metabolic disorders in child psychiatry may lead to diagnoses being missed. Patients therefore are also at risk for not accessing efficacious treatment and proper counselling. To search the literature for the co-occurrence of child psychiatric disorders, such as ADHD, autism, psychosis, learning disorders and eating disorders and metabolic disorders. A search of the literature was conducted by performing a broad search on PubMed, using the terms "ADHD and metabolic disorders", "autism and metabolic disorders", "psychosis and metabolic disorders", "learning disorders and metabolic disorders", and "eating disorders and metabolic disorders". Based on inclusion criteria (concerning a clear psychiatric disorder and concerning a metabolic disorder) 4441 titles and 249 abstracts were screened and resulted in 71 relevant articles. This thorough literature search provides child and adolescent psychiatrists with an overview of metabolic disorders associated with child psychiatric symptoms, their main characteristics and recommendations for further investigations.

Neurodevelopmental Outcome after Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Inborn Errors of Metabolism: Current Considerations and Future Perspectives.

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) comprise an assorted group of inherited diseases, some of which are due to disordered lysosomal or peroxisomal function and some of which might be improved following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). In these disorders the onset in infancy or early childhood is typically accompanied by rapid deterioration, resulting in early death in the more severe phenotypes. Timely diagnosis and immediate referral to an IEM specialist are essential steps in optimal management. Treatment recommendations are based on the diagnosis, its phenotype, rate of progression, prior extent of disease, family values, and expectations, and the risks and benefits associated with available therapies, including HCT. International collaborative efforts are of utmost importance in determining outcomes of therapy for these rare diseases, and have improved those outcomes significantly over the last decades. In this review, we will focus on the neurodevelopmental outcomes after HCT in IEM, providing an international perspective on progress, limitations, and future directions.

Inborn error metabolic screening in individuals with nonsyndromic autism spectrum disorders.

AIM: To perform metabolic testing on 406 patients (age range 3-22y [mean 6.71, SD 4.15], 343 males and 63 females) with nonsyndromic autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to assess the diagnostic yield. In addition, we reviewed our hospital's clinical database of 8500 patients who had undergone metabolic testing to be identified for inborn errors of metabolism (IEM), and described the characteristics of those with IEM and nonsyndromic ASD. METHOD: Neuropsychological evaluation included the Social Communication Questionnaire and Child Behavior Checklist. For metabolic testing/screening, urine samples were analyzed for the diagnosis of cerebral creatine deficiency syndromes, purine and pyrimidine disorders, amino acid metabolism defects, mucopolysaccharidoses, and organic acidurias. RESULTS: The 406 recruited participants fulfilled the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition (DSM-IV) criteria of ASD. No biochemical evidence of a metabolic disorder was detected in any of the 406 patients studied. Concerning the retrospective evaluation from the 8500 who had metabolic testing, 464 individuals had a diagnosis of an IEM (394 without the diagnosis of ASD and 70 with ASD diagnosis). Only one individual with IEM had a diagnosis of nonsyndromic ASD at the time of the metabolic study; the metabolic testing had revealed diagnosis of urea-cycle disorder. INTERPRETATION: Metabolic testing should be considered in the work-up of individuals with syndromic ASD, but metabolic testing is not cost-effective for individuals with nonsyndromic ASD.

Child and family experiences with inborn errors of metabolism: a qualitative interview study with representatives of patient groups.

BACKGROUND: Patient-centered health care for children with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) and their families is important and requires an understanding of patient experiences, needs, and priorities. IEM-specific patient groups have emerged as important voices within these rare disease communities and are uniquely positioned to contribute to this understanding. We conducted qualitative interviews with IEM patient group representatives to increase understanding of patient and family experiences, needs, and priorities and inform patient-centered research and care. METHODS: We developed a sampling frame of patient groups representing IEM disease communities from Canada, the United States, and United Kingdom. With consent, we interviewed participants to explore their views on experiences, needs, and outcomes that are most important to children with IEM and their families. We analyzed the data using a qualitative descriptive approach to identify key themes and sub-themes. RESULTS: We interviewed 18 organizational representatives between February 28 and September 17, 2014, representing 16 IEMs and/or disease categories. Twelve participants voluntarily self-identified as parents and/or were themselves patients. Three key themes emerged from the coded data: managing the uncertainty associated with raising and caring for a child with a rare disease; challenges associated with the affected child's life transitions, and; the collective struggle for improved outcomes and interventions that rare disease communities navigate. CONCLUSION: Health care providers can support children with IEM and their families by acknowledging and reducing uncertainty, supporting families through children's life transitions, and contributing to rare disease communities' progress toward improved interventions, experiences, and outcomes.

Important Considerations in the Initial Clinical Evaluation of the Dysmorphic Neonate.

BACKGROUND: The approach to clinical evaluation of the dysmorphic neonate can be challenging and multifaceted. It requires specialized knowledge of rare diagnoses and awareness of immediate versus long-term needs for the newborn and the family. PURPOSE: This review summarizes important considerations in the initial evaluation of genetic syndromes, which can present in the neonatal period with variable aspects of dysmorphism. METHODS: An overview of the literature in this area is provided. FINDINGS/RESULTS: Several overlapping areas of concern for working with this population are addressed, including communication with the family, fundamentals of the physical examination, common genetic disorders, syndromes, as well as palliative care and end of life decision making for the newborn in the context of family needs. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The initial approach for the neonatal practitioner needs to focus on various aspects of the newborn's care, including medical stabilization, determining whether immediate laboratory or imaging studies are needed, careful physical examination with particular attention to detail, appropriate and timely communication with the family, and knowledge of various specific aspects of rare diseases. IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH: More research is needed to better understand how to best support the newborn born with dysmorphia or a rare disease. Particular attention needs to be focused on strategies to best support the family who is often in crisis during the neonatal period.

[Neurological appraisal of children and adolescents with psychotic symptoms]. / Valoracion neurologica de niños y adolescentes con sintomas psicoticos.

INTRODUCTION: Psychotic manifestations in childhood are not infrequent, yet the existing literature dealing with the neurological appraisal of children and adolescents with a clinical picture of psychosis is very scant. AIM: To conduct a non-systematic review of the literature that provides an answer to these three questions: When must a neurological appraisal be performed in a child with psychotic traits? What medical conditions can include signs and symptoms of psychosis in their development? And, what diagnostic procedure should be followed? DEVELOPMENT: The diseases that can present psychotic symptoms at onset or during their course are reviewed and grouped by pathologies: inborn errors of metabolism, genetic diseases, autoimmune and infectious diseases, malformations of the central nervous system, epilepsy, vascular pathology, rheumatologic processes, brain tumours, and psychoactive substances and drugs. A diagnostic regimen is proposed in which both the information obtained from the anamnesis and examination and the findings from each of the diagnostic tests are evaluated. CONCLUSIONS: A huge number of processes can display psychotic symptoms during their course and the key information offered by the anamnesis and examination must be taken into account. This review can help neuropaediatricians and other specialists perform a more systematised appraisal of children and adolescents with psychotic signs and symptoms.

TITLE: Valoracion neurologica de niños y adolescentes con sintomas psicoticos.Introduccion. Las manifestaciones psicoticas en la infancia no son infrecuentes; sin embargo, la bibliografia existente acerca de la valoracion neurologica de niños y adolescentes con cuadros psicoticos es muy escasa. Objetivo. Realizar una revision bibliografica no sistematica que permita responder a estas tres cuestiones: cuando debe llevarse a cabo una valoracion neurologica en un niño con rasgos psicoticos?, cuales son las condiciones medicas que pueden incluir un cuadro psicotico en su evolucion? y cual debe ser el procedimiento diagnostico? Desarrollo. Se revisan las enfermedades que pueden presentar sintomatologia psicotica al inicio o durante la evolucion, y se agrupan por patologias: errores congenitos del metabolismo, enfermedades geneticas, enfermedades autoinmunes e infecciosas, malformaciones del sistema nervioso central, epilepsia, patologia vascular, procesos reumatologicos, tumores cerebrales, y farmacos y sustancias psicoactivas. Se propone una pauta diagnostica en la que se valora la informacion obtenida a partir de la anamnesis y la exploracion y la aportacion de cada prueba diagnostica. Conclusiones. El numero de procesos que pueden manifestar sintomatologia psicotica a lo largo de su evolucion es muy elevado, y hay que considerar las claves que ofrecen la anamnesis y la exploracion. Esta revision puede ayudar a neuropediatras y otros especialistas a realizar una valoracion mas sistematizada de niños y adolescentes con cuadros psicoticos.
