Rett syndrome: long-term clinical follow-up experiences over four decades

Bengt Hagberg. J Child Neurol. 2005 Sep.

Abstract

Long-term clinical profiles of female patients with classic Rett syndrome are presented and exemplified by three cases, as experienced over four decades. Emphasized is the frequently surprisingly well-preserved eye contact and primitive memory, in contrast to a premature neuromuscular aging and often advanced peripheral atrophy, usually combined with dystonic-rigid signs that are predominantly right sided.
