A Case of Attention deficit Hyperactivity Disoredr in Association with Postinflammatory Hydrocephalus
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
An arrested hydrocephalus viewed as enlarged lateral and the third ventricles with thinning of corpus callosum was found on MR imaging in a ten year-old boy whose behavior was disruptive with hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention,
a
typical clinical features of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder according to DSM-III-R, and was responsive to the stimulant. The hydrocephalus seemed to be secondary to tuberculous meningoencephalitis
which had occurred at 12 months of his age.
I reported the case to speculate organic causes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and reviewed articles related to the etiology of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
