ABSTRACT
Clinical and EEG findings have been analysed in six patients with Rett syndrome with a mean follow-up of 3 years and 9 months. After reviewing the diagnostic criteria for inclusion, which are essentially clinical, we emphasize two aspects which have been shortly considered in the literature: a) epileptic seizures, b) peculiar differential characteristics between primary autism and the Rett syndrome behaviour. Moreover, we underline the importance of serial EEG poligraphic records for early diagnosis.
