Fluvoxamine treatment of coincident autistic disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder: a case report.
This is a single-case report of fluvoxamine treatment of comorbid autistic disorder (AD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Psychological, neuroanatomical, and neurochemical parallels are drawn between AD and OCD. The implications of this case of coincident AD and OCD, as well as the response to fluvoxamine, are discussed with respect to nosology, pathophysiology, and treatment of these disorders.
