Long-term outcomes of functional neurological disorder in children

Archives of Diseases in Childhood Jul 25, 2019

Raper J, et al. - In this investigation, researchers identified the incidence and long-term results (up to 21 years) in children with symptoms of a functional neurological disorder (FND) in a university hospital pediatric neurology service with particular reference to FND or similar symptoms in adulthood. One hundred twenty-four people met the entry criteria. Seizures, sensory loss, and motor symptoms were the most common presentations. Evidence of FND in adulthood of enough magnitude to be recorded in medical records was seen in 23%. With age of onset, frequency increased gradually; the incidence in pediatric neurological services was 6 per 100,000 children under 16. Investigators found that pediatric FND is more common than prior estimates. A high long-term rate of remission is noted even in this population of children getting to specialist pediatric neurology services.
