Presentation
A 15-year-old boy presented with severe OCD of recent onset. An infarct of the caudate nucleus was identified as the initial presentation of primary APS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neurologic
- Generalized Tonic-Clonic Seizure
Levetiracetam was started to control generalized tonic-clonic seizure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
In general, routine medical workup for childhood OCD is not indicated, but a comprehensive psychiatric, medical, and family history taking and physical examination are essential, particularly if OCD is of recent onset. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Overall, a positive outcome was noted with sex offender treatment. Cognitive-behavioral and hormonal treatment were the most promising. Voluntary treatment led to a slightly better outcome than mandatory participation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Understanding barriers to treatment and knowing what to expect ahead of time are extremely important to the success of your child’s treatment. [beyondocd.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis Life expectancy ranges from infancy to well into the 7th decade. Up to 40% of patients will have BMF by the age of 40. Major causes of morbidity include BMF, cancer and pulmonary complications. [orpha.net]
Prognosis DKC is a multisystem disorder that carries a poor prognosis (mean survival of 30 y), with most deaths related to infections, bleeding, and malignancy. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Because of the complexity and because multiple organs are severely impaired the prognosis of children diagnosed with Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome is usually poor. [rarediseases.org]
Etiology
Such approaches have, however, moved much faster than theoretical consideration, measurement validation, and research into competing etiological explanations and comparable behavioral patterns. [psychcentral.com]
It has been hypothesized that the serotonergic system is implicated in the etiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Price’s research interests center on the role of neurocognitive factors in the etiology, course, and treatment of depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, and suicidality. [pittplusme.org]

(See Etiology, History.) Once believed to be relatively rare in children and adolescents, OCD now is thought to affect as many as 2–3% of children. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
CONCLUSIONS: While epidemiological studies of tic disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder have yet to incorporate questions concerning "just right" perceptions, these results suggest that such perceptions may be commonplace in adolescent and adult [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because of the lack of large-scale, population-based epidemiological studies assessing CSB, its true prevalence among adults is unknown. [mdedge.com]

Pathophysiology
Although several studies link striatal dysfunction to compulsivity, the pathophysiology remains poorly understood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Early mortality is often associated with bone marrow failure, infections, fatal pulmonary complications, or malignancy. [1, 2] Pathophysiology To date, there are 14 genes that have been identified with DKC (ACD,DCK1, TERC, TERT, NOP10, NHP2, TINF2, USB1 [emedicine.medscape.com]
Further studies with larger samples and longer follow-up period would be necessary to confirm these preliminary findings and clarify their pathophysiology. KEY WORDS:Schizophrenia·Obsessive-compulsive disorder·Comorbidity. [kisep.com]
Prevention
Washing rituals are performed in an attempt to prevent this perceived danger. [ocdtypes.com]
Of course, compulsions are often unrealistic solutions to the problems they are supposed to prevent. [ocd.about.com]
Once the active treatment phase is completed, a maintenance phase involving response prevention activities can help prevent relapse. [apa.org]
In Experiment 2, a multiple schedules treatment was conducted with each participant, and in Experiment 3, the participant with autism and OC behavior completed exposure and response prevention (ERP) treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These repetitive behaviors or mental acts are meant to prevent or reduce anxiety related to your obsessions or prevent something bad from happening. [mayoclinic.org]
