Role of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Autism children
Maryam Mohamed Ali Mohamed;
Abstract
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by triad deficit: impairments in social interactions, communication deficits & repetitive and stereotyped pattern of behaviour.
The underlying pathogenesis of this disorder is still unknown but several studies indicate the importance of both genetic and environmental factors in the development of autism. It affects tens of millions worldwide, and the prevalence rate have increased in recent years. There is no established explanation for this continuing increase, although improved diagnosis and environmental influences are two reasons often considered. Autism appears to have its root in very early brain development. However, the most obvious signs of autism and symptoms tend to emerge between 2 and 3 years of age. Boys are affected by autism much more often than girls, and male-to-female ratios of 3–5:1 as reported.
There are many brain structures are affected by autism, but we concentrate on specific structures which are: corpus callosum, anterior cingulated gyrus, amygdala and hippocampus.
Recently, MR spectroscopy and DTI are increasingly receiving more attention from radiologists, neurologists, psychiatrists and other clinicians. They are used as the child of 2
