这项研究是为了检验一种假设，即患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童通常有巨头症，而那些没有共病学习障碍的儿童最常受到影响。50名连续患有阿斯伯格综合征的儿童(45名男性，5名女性；平均年龄9岁，1岁6个月至16岁)与50名符合自闭症(自闭症谱系中的一种低功能障碍)标准的儿童(45名男性，5名女性；平均年龄8岁4个月，1岁6岁4个月至15岁5个月)和50名符合注意力缺陷多动障碍标准的儿童(45名男性，5名女性；平均年龄8岁4个月，1岁6个月至15岁5个月)匹配。检查了分娩和神经精神病学的随访记录，并详细记录了与枕额周长、体重和身高相关的数据。亚斯伯格综合征组包括出生时和出生一年后随访时记录的巨头症患者的一部分。另一个亚组在儿童早期患上了巨头症。自闭症谱系障碍包括一个患有巨头症的亚群，其特征是功能水平相对较高，临床表现通常与阿斯伯格综合征的诊断相一致。
This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that children with autistic spectrum disorders often have macrocephalus, and that those without comorbid learning disability are most frequently affected. Fifty consecutive children with Asperger syndrome (45 males, five females; mean age 9 years, range 1 year 6 months to 16 years) without indications of underlying medical disorders were matched for birth year and sex with 50 children (45 males, five females; mean age 6 years 4 months, range 1 year 4 months to 13 years 11 months) who met criteria for autistic disorder (a lower-functioning disorder within the autism spectrum) and with 50 children (45 males, five females; mean age 8 years 4 months, range 1 year 6 months to 15 years 5 months) who met criteria for attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder. Birth and neuropsychiatric follow-up records were examined and data relating to occipitofrontal circumference, weight, and height were detailed. The group with Asperger syndrome included a subset of individuals with macrocephalus recorded both at birth and at follow-up after the first year of life. Another subgroup developed macrocephalus during early childhood. Autistic spectrum disorders include a subgroup with macrocephalus characterized by a relatively high level of functioning and a clinical presentation most often consistent with a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome.
