Emerging evidence implicates hyperactive catatonia in more cases of self-injury and aggression in ASD than previously thought. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The study seeks to describe cases of hyperactive catatonia in SYNGAP-1 mutation and examine existing literature for symptomatic overlap between previously-described clinical and behavioral phenotypes of individuals with SYNGAP-1 mutations and catatonia. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The study describes two cases of an adolescent and a young adult with SYNGAP-1 mutation and ASD presenting with hyperactive catatonia, which are the first reports of catatonia in individuals known to have a pathogenic variant in SYNGAP-1. A systematic review was undertaken during which 101 articles were screened. 13 articles were then examined for neurological and behavioral features present in participants with SYNGAP-1 mutations which are seen in catatonia. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The systematic review demonstrates that clinical features suggestive of catatonia are frequently seen among individuals with SYNGAP-1 mutations, including verbal impairment, psychomotor symptoms, aggression, oral aversion, and incontinence. These features were also present in the cases of catatonia in SYNGAP-1 mutations presented here. Both patients showed clinical improvement with use of a long-acting benzodiazepine, and one patient showed benefit from electroconvulsive therapy. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This symptomatic overlap revealed in the systematic review, including symptoms seen in the reported cases, raises the possibility that diagnoses of catatonia may have been missed in the past in individuals with SYNGAP-1 mutations. Self-injurious behavior and aggression, which are hallmarks of hyperactive catatonia, are commonly part of the behavioral phenotype of SYNGAP-1-related disorders. Clinicians should consider catatonia as a cause of such symptoms in individuals with SYNGAP-1 mutations, as effective treatment can result in significant improvement in safety and quality of life.</p>","PeriodicalId":15277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of child and adolescent psychopharmacology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142132834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics (CBIT) is considered first-line management for most individuals with bothersome tics, especially if they are mild to moderate in severity. Pharmacotherapy should be considered when tics are impairing daily functioning, causing social problems, accompanied by other neuropsychiatric symptoms, or when the patient is not likely to benefit from CBIT. Current recommended pharmacotherapy options include alpha-2 adrenergic agonists, dopamine modulators, GABAergic medications, dopamine depleters, and botulinum toxin injections. Additionally, there are other novel medications that are being studied in ongoing clinical trials. <i><b>Conclusions:</b></i> This review summarizes available pharmacotherapy options for TD in children.
