Abstract
The term "Savant", of French origin, means "wise" and refers to Savant Syndrome, a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by extraordinary cognitive abilities in individuals with other intellectual or neurological disabilities. This study aims to analyze healthcare professionals' perceptions and approaches toward patients with Savant Syndrome, considering the challenges and strategies for adequate care. This descriptive and qualitative research investigated healthcare professionals' perceptions and approaches regarding patients with Savant Syndrome by conducting a literature review of available articles in the BVS and SciELO databases (in Portuguese and English) between 2016 and 2024. The findings suggest that a multidisciplinary approach is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for individuals with this syndrome, thereby fostering their innate abilities and promoting greater autonomy and social well-being. The study emphasizes the importance of healthcare professionals' knowledge and sensitivity in delivering personalized and effective care.
