L'examen de la littérature
traite des aversions alimentaires comportementales chez les patients avec un diagnostic de TSA qui entraînent des déficiences nutritionnelles
importantes, comme le scorbut. Grâce à ce rapport de cas,
l'objectif est de sensibiliser les cliniques à des maladies relativement
rares chez les patients avec un diagnostic de TSA qui présentent des
caractéristiques d'alimentation atypiques.

Gingival bleeding in a patient with autism spectrum disorder: A key finding leading to a diagnosis of scurvy
Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder
that can affect all aspects of life, including nutrition. This case
reports a patient with ASD in which gingival bleeding was the key
finding that led to a diagnosis of scurvy. The literature review
discusses behavioral food aversions in patients with ASD that lead to
significant nutritional deficiencies, such as scurvy. Through this case
report, the objective is to raise clinical awareness to consider
relatively rare diseases in patients with ASD who have atypical feeding
patterns.
