Abstract

Rett disorder is a developmental disorder affecting 1 in 10 000 females. There is apparently normal development in the first six months after birth, followed by developmental stagnation and regression. Respiratory dysrhythmia and stereotypical behaviour are classic features of the disorder. The study is a single case series investigating the possible relationship between stereotyped behaviour and respiratory dysrhythmia. Results show some modest relationship between these variables in some cases.
