Neurodevelopmental screening at five years of children who were at risk neonatally / Katarina MICHELSSON in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-4 (August 1981)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 23-4 (August 1981) . - p.427-433 Titre : Neurodevelopmental screening at five years of children who were at risk neonatally Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Katarina MICHELSSON, Auteur ; Märta DONNER, Auteur ; Anneli YLINEN, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.427-433 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A neurodevelopmental screening test with cumulative scoring for abnormal test responses was performed on 845 five-year-old Finnish children who, in the newborn period, had had disorders which placed them in a high-risk group, and on 70 controls. The results showed a significant difference between the neurodevelopmental scores of the risk-group children and those of the controls. The scores were higher if the child had had many of the risk factors simultaneously. Boys had significantly higher scores than girls. The mean scores also varied between different risk factors. It is evident that slight neurodevelopmental deviations at the age of five years can derive from disorders in the newborn period.

Phrenic nerve conduction in children / A. MOOSA in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-4 (August 1981)

MOOSA, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.434-448 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A study was undertaken in order to establish the normal range of phrenic nerve latencies in children, to determine whether phrenic nerve stimulation can distinguish diaphragmatic palsy from eventration of the diaphragm, and to determine the effect of neuromuscular disorders on phrenic nerve latencies in children. Ninety-four children were examined, of whom 31 had neuromuscular disorder and 63 were controls. Among the controls, phrenic nerve latencies decreased from 32 weeks gestational age to six months postnatal age, despite an increase in stimulus-response distance. However, the latencies were prolonged in two of four children with isolated phrenic nerve palsies, and in five of six children with Guillain-Barré syndrome, although they were normal in children with congenital eventration of the diaphragm, spinal muscular atrophy, poliomyelitis (with one exception), and in a miscellaneous group of children with other neuromuscular disorders. Measurement of phrenic nerve latency may detect diaphragmatic weakness early in the course of demyelinating neuropathies, and can be useful in distinguishing between eventration and phrenic palsies as causes of elevated diaphragm. In patients with generalised peripheral neuropathies, the procedure may sometimes detect diaphragmatic involvement even before other evidence of ventilatory insufficiency.

Infantile spasms: a neuro-ophthalmological study / Paolo CURATOLO in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-4 (August 1981)

Ocular features were inconstant and aspecific in the idiopathic, perinatal and postnatal groups. However, infantile spasms in the prenatal symptomatic group frequently were associated with ocular findings related to an ectodermic defect, as well as with brain defects. It is suggested that ocular findings are helpful in the investigation of infantile spasms, both in detecting associated brain malformations, and as an indication of whether further examination by computerized tomography is necessary.

They were clinically examined before treatment, and again after one to three years of therapy. The short-term clinical response was excellent in four patients, good in eight, poor in four and there was no change in two. At follow-up, two patients were clinically normal, but 10 had severe and six had moderate mental retardation. Seven patients still had residual seizures. Since these results do not differ significantly from those obtained with hormonal treatment, the authors suggest using sodium dipropylacetate (which has less frequent and less severe side-effects than adreno-corticotropic hormone) as the only initial drug, and to use hormonal treatment only in unresponsive patients.

Age-related progress among children with severe learning difficulties / Beryl SMITH in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-4 (August 1981)

Improvements in cognition, social skills and language were observed around the age of 11 to 12 years. These developments were most clearly seen in two subgroups of the sample: those with Down's syndrome and those whose mental retardation was unaccompanied by any severe pathological condition. It appeared that the gains were not an artefact of selective processes operating in the sample. The reason for improvements in diverse areas, some of which might be associated with psychological development and others with growth of physical skills, is not clear, but the findings indicate the need for longitudinal studies of the severely educationally subnormal, and particularly of the two subgroups mentioned, who together comprise about three-fifths of those with severe learning difficulties.

Pathogenic factors in idiopathic mental retardation / Hanan COSTEFF in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-4 (August 1981)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 23-4 (August 1981) . - p.484-493 Titre : Pathogenic factors in idiopathic mental retardation Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Hanan COSTEFF, Auteur ; Bernard COHEN, Auteur ; Leonard WELLER, Auteur ; Howard KLECKNER, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.484-493 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Pathogenic factors in a mentally retarded population were evaluated by comparing their frequency among three groups of patients: a control group with predominantly genetic retardation and consanguineous parents; a group with severe idiopathic retardation and unrelated parents; and a group with mild idiopathic retardation and unrelated parents. Seven factors were found to be significantly more common among the patients with idiopathic retardation than in the genetic control group: a history of maternal reproductive inefficiency; bleeding during pregnancy; toxemia during pregnancy; signs of perinatal stress; neonatal anoxia; neonatal jaundice; and seizures during the first year of life. A history of repeated maternal abortions was particularly associated with mild retardation, and infantile seizures were particularly associated with severe retardation. The latter association remained significant even after exclusion of all infantile spasms, neonatal seizures and symptomatic seizures. Since the control group in this study was composed mainly of genetically retarded patients, the associations observed seem likely to be related to the causes of retardation rather than simply being the effects of a damaged fetus. PIP: Several complications and diseases of pregnancy, delivery, and infancy have been found to be more prevalent among the mentally retarded than among normal children. In the course of reviewing 904 families of retarded children examined at the Tel Hashomer Assessment Center for the retarded (Israel), a group of 87 children with a nonspecific phenotype were isolated. Genetic analysis showed this to be of 75% autosomal recessive etiology. These mainly genetically retarded patients were used as a control group to assess a number of pathogenic factors in mental retardation. 3 groups of retarded patients with complete and reliable medical histories were compared: 87 retarded children with unidifferentiated phenotype, whose parents had normal intelligence and were either uncle-niece pairs or 1st cousins, and intelligence quotients (IQs) were less than 50 in 61 of these cases and between 50 and 69 in the remaining 26; 161 cases with idiopathic retardation with unrelated parents of normal intelligence, without retarded siblings; and 75 idiopathic retarded cases similar to the group of 161 cases but with only mild retardation. Complications of pregnancy, labor, and infancy were seen in 21 of the 61 control retarded groups with IQs under 50 and in 9 of the 26 with IQs 50 to 69. They were observed in 100 of the 161 cases of severe idiopathic retardation and in 53 of the 75 cases of mild idiopathic retardation. 11 factors were common enough to permit individual analysis: maternal age; history of multiple or recent spontaneous abortions; bleeding during pregnancy; toxemia; prematurity; low birthweight at term; signs of fetal or neonatal distress; neonatal anoxia; significant neonatal jaundice; convulsions during the 1st year of life; and evidence of early maternal neglect or chronic infantile illness. Maternal age over 35 at the time of birth was of no etiological importance. Abortions, either multiple or in the immediately preceding or subsequent pregnancy, were more than twice as common in the cases of mild idiopathic retardation as in the control group. The group with severe idiopathic retardation showed only a slight, insignificant increase in maternal abortions relative to the control group. Bleeding during early or middle pregnancy was more than 3 times as common in both the mild and severe idiopathic retarded groups as in the control group of homozygotes. Toxemia of pregnancy was twice as common among those with mild idiopathic retardation and 2-1/2 times as common in severe idiopathic retardation compared with the homozygote control group. Prematurity and low birthweight showed only a slight and nonsignificant rise in the 2 idiopathic groups relative to the controls. Signs of perinatal stress were practically nonexistent in the controls and were significantly more common in both the mild and severe idiopathic groups. Neonatal anoxia requiring some degree of medical attention was about 3 times as common in the 2 test groups. Events of neglect were as common in the control as in the other groups. Seizure prevalence in the 1st year of life showed a nonsignificant increase in the mild idiopathic group and an increase of marked significance in the severe idiopathic group relative to the controls.

A clinical approach to the differentiation of this numerically important group from the various other causes of large head is outlined. The group is characterised by a familial incidence of large head in at least 50 per cent of cases; a male to female preponderance of four to one; an above-normal rate of head growth in 80 per cent of the children in the first four months after birth, and in a further 12 per cent in late infancy. The vast majority of these children were normal. Only seven children were retarded, and they also had a variety of neurological and other somatic abnormalities.

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 23-4 (August 1981) . - p.505-517 Titre : Psychiatric sequelae in children treated operatively for hydrocephalus in infancy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : H. M. CONNELL, Auteur ; T. S. MCCONNEL, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.505-517 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study reports on the prevalence of psychiatric disorder in 45 children of primary-school age who had been treated operatively for hydrocephalus in infancy. A high rate of disturbance was found; presumably this relates not only to neurological factors but also to the child's reaction to his handicaps and to the attitudes of significant people toward him. The symptomatology was predominantly neurotic, and since emotional disorder can be helped by psychological methods it is argued that early psychiatric intervention could improve the quality of life for these children.

Transient Gilles de la Tourette syndrome after chronic neuroleptic withdrawal / William David SINGER in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-4 (August 1981)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 23-4 (August 1981) . - p.518-521 Titre : Transient Gilles de la Tourette syndrome after chronic neuroleptic withdrawal Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : William David SINGER, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.518-521 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A retarded 16-year-old male developed symptoms consistent with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome within one month of withdrawal from chronic neuroleptic treatment. The symptoms began to subside after six months and he was symptom-free after seven months. This suggests that symptoms of Gilles de la Tourette syndrome which appear after withdrawal of chronic neuroleptic therapy may be due to transient hypersensitivity of dopamine receptor sites.

A patient with pyruvate carboxylase deficiency in the liver: treatment with aspartic acid and thiamine / M. G. BAAL in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-4 (August 1981)

KOK, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.521-530 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A seven-year-old girl with slowly progressive motor neurological impairment and high levels of lactate and pyruvate in blood and cerebrospinal fluid was found to have severe hepatic pyruvate carboxylase deficiency. However, in contrast to other patients with this deficiency, no mental retardation was apparent. Treatment with aspartic acid and thiamine over a period of seven years resulted in biochemical improvement and a stable neurological condition. The level of cognitive functioning remained the same. When treatment with aspartic acid was temporarily discontinued, lactate and pyruvate concentrations increased so markedly that the drug was resumed. This indicates that aspartic acid was the effective drug, and that the effect of thiamine was secondary.

Declining rates were noted in Bristol, England, and in Denmark; but more recently a rising rate was noted in Ireland. In Western Sweden a decline has been followed by a recent rise, and in Western Australia a rise has been followed by a decline. Rates with not statistically significant changes have been found in Iceland and Birmingham, England, and over the seven-year span of the US Collaborative Perinatal Project, although their over-all direction was downward. No single factor is likely to explain the trends observed. Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=523 [article] Cerebral palsy and newborn care.
