Abstract

SUMMARYA 6-year-old with severe psychiatric problems was found to have Kilinefelters syndrome. He had a mixed emotional and behavioral clinical picture similar to and difficult to distinguish from that of other child psychiatric disorders. Klinefeltes syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a prepubertal boy with multiple emotional, behavioral, academic, social, and developmental problems.
