polski), also known as Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD), is a rare condition characterized by late onset of developmental delays—or severe and sudden reversals—in language, social function, and motor skills. Researchers have not been able to find a specific cause for this disorder. Heller's Syndrome was named after Austrian educator Theodor Heller (1869–1940), who first described it in 1908.
Etymology
The term "Heller's Syndrome" is derived from the name of Theodor Heller, who first identified the condition. The term "Childhood Disintegrative Disorder" refers to the pattern of development and then rapid regression in abilities observed in children with this condition.
Symptoms
Children with Heller's Syndrome typically develop normally for at least two years, and then demonstrate a severe loss of previously acquired skills. This condition affects multiple areas of functioning, including language, social skills, and motor skills. Symptoms may vary among children and may include social withdrawal, loss of expressive or receptive language, loss of motor skills, lack of play, and loss of bowel and bladder control.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of Heller's Syndrome is based on the child's history and a clinical assessment. The condition is typically diagnosed by a specialist in neurodevelopmental disorders, such as a psychiatrist or neurologist. Diagnostic criteria include normal development for at least the first two years of life, followed by a significant loss of skills in at least two of the following areas: language, social skills, play, motor skills, or bowel and bladder control.
Treatment
There is no cure for Heller's Syndrome, but there are treatments that can help manage its symptoms. These may include behavioral therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Medications may also be used to manage symptoms such as aggression, anxiety, or problems with attention.
Prognosis
The prognosis for children with Heller's Syndrome varies. Some children may improve over time, while others may continue to lose skills or learn at a slower rate than their peers. Early intervention and treatment can help improve the child's development and quality of life.
