Other Diagnostic Studies
- Tests to evaluate metabolic disorders:[1]
- Various metabolic abnormalities include abnormalities involving nucleotides, amino acids, vitamins, and mitochondria may be found in association with autism spectrum disorder. However, screening and testing to investigate metabolic abnormalities are not routinely recommended for the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Unless the patient present with symptoms including seizures, sluggishness, recurrent vomiting, dysmorphic feautures and gross motor and mental retardation.
- Neuroimaging studies:
- There is no sufficient evidence to support the role of routine neuroimaging tools such as MRI, PET scan, single-photon emission CT scan in the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder because of their association with inconsistent results.
- Electroencephalography:[2]
- Electroencephalography is not routinely indicated.
- May be indicated in certain conditions, to evaluate autism spectrum disorder presenting with seizures, landau-kleffner syndrome (aphasia with seizures).
