Resumen

El síndrome de Asperger es un trastorno generalizado del desarrollo, fue descrito por Hans Asperger en 1944. Se caracteriza por una marcada alteración social, dificultades en la comunicación, déficit en la capacidad de juego y un rango de comportamiento e intereses repetitivos, sin un retardo significativo en el lenguaje, ni cognitivo. Considerando la importancia del tema actualmente, en este se hace una revisión amplia sobre el tema que abraca aspectos como: características clínicas, alteraciones al examen físico, posibles alteraciones estructurales y funcionales. También se especifican los criterios del DSM-IV, del diagnóstico diferencial y del diagnóstico diferencial. Finalmente, se puntualizan algunos aspectos relacionados con la genética y el tratamiento.
