Autism and Rett syndrome: behavioural investigations and differential diagnosis / Bo OLSSON in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-4 (August 1987)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 29-4 (August 1987) . - p.429-441 Titre : Autism and Rett syndrome: behavioural investigations and differential diagnosis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Bo OLSSON, Auteur ; Andreas RETT, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.429-441 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The most common wrong diagnosis of children with Rett syndrome has been the infantile autistic syndrome, and it is probable that this false diagnosis continues to be made in many places. This paper is a follow-up to the authors' previous study concerning differential diagnosis between the two syndromes and is based on the observation of 63 patients over the age of 22 months in 10 stimulus situations. In Rett syndrome there were very small individual differences in the sensorimotor performances, which correspond only to the third and fourth stages of Piaget's 'sensorimotor intelligence' scale. There were pronounced individual differences in the levels of basic motor development and, independently from these, in autistic behavioural traits. When the children's behaviour was examined in detail, it became evident that girls with Rett syndrome differ in many subtle ways from those with the autistic syndrome. Behaviour observed in some cases of Rett syndrome but in none of the autistic syndrome included: social (non-autistic) behaviour; no chewing, at most sucking of items of food placed in the mouth; monotonous 'hand-washing' movements with arms flexed in front of chest or chin. In all cases of Rett syndrome but in only some of the autistic syndrome there were: no 'social defence reactions' nor 'primary self-injuring activities'; some form of ataxia and a very restricted repertoire of postures and movements, monotonous in form and speed; and the time spent looking at objects and people was at least as long as the time taken to manipulate objects. Some causes of the characteristic stereotypic hand movements observed in Rett syndrome are also suggested.

Specific language impairment as a maturational lag: evidence from longitudinal data on language and motor development / Dorothy V. M. BISHOP in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-4 (August 1987)

M. BISHOP, Auteur ; A. EDMUNDSON, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.442-459 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Longitudinal language-test data on 87 language-impaired children assessed at the ages of four, 4 1/2 and 5 1/2 years were converted to age-equivalent scores to compare the rates of development of children who recover from early language delay with those who have more persisting problems. On most measures, over the 18-month period all the children progressed by about 18 months. Thus although children with good and poor outcomes were distinguished in terms of initial level of performance, they did not differ in rate of progress. Speed on a peg-moving task was closely related to language performance. Children who had a good outcome after early language delay had significantly impaired scores at four years, but subsequently were indistinguishable from a control group. Quantitative but not qualitative differences in peg-moving performance were found for children with good and poor outcomes. No association was found between presumptive aetiological factors and language or pegboard performance. These findings are interpreted in terms of a theory which attributes specific language impairment to a maturational lag in neurological development.

Phenylketonuria and complex spatial visualization: an analysis of information processing / Robert L. BRUNNER in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-4 (August 1987)

BERCH, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.460-468 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Recent neuropsychological studies have suggested that patients with early-treated phenylketonuria (PKU) and normal intelligence have a specific deficiency in solving complex spatial problems. In the present study a task involving the assembly of various shapes was used to compare the performance of 16 PKU patients and 11 sibling controls. Error rates generally were higher and response times slower among the PKU patients, but greater complexity did not produce differential changes in accuracy or speed in the PKU group compared to the controls. Correlations between task performance and IQ measures were significant for the PKU patients, but when IQ was controlled for the group differences vanished. The results suggest that choice of problem-solving strategy, attention span and accuracy of mental representation may be affected in PKU patients, despite efforts to maintain well-controlled phenylalanine concentrations in the blood.

Visual-ocular control of normal and learning-disabled children / Helene J. POLATAJKO in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-4 (August 1987)

POLATAJKO, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.477-485 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Much of the data typically presented to support the vestibular dysfunction hypothesis among learning-disabled children is based on a measure of vestibular function that is confounded by visual input. Thus these data may provide evidence of deficits in visual-ocular function in this population. To explore this possibility the authors investigated the differences in visual-ocular function, in particular optokinetic nystagmus (OKN), between normal and learning-disabled children. Children were tested for refixation saccades, smooth ocular pursuit, spontaneous nystagmus, gaze nystagmus and OKN. The testers were blind to the group to which the children belonged. No significant differences were found between the groups on any of the variables. It is concluded that there is no difference in nystagmic behaviour between normal and learning-disabled children, and that the differences in eye movements reported among learning-disabled children should not be attributed to the visual-ocular control functions investigated here.

Bone density in myelomeningocele: the effects of ambulatory status and other factors / Byron D. ROSENSTEIN in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-4 (August 1987)

BLUM, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.486-494 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Measurements were made of distal radius, mid-radius, tibia and metatarsal bone-density of 80 patients with myelomeningocele (17 thoracic, six L1/L2, 13 L3, 30 L4, 14 L5/sacral). For the upper extremity the bone density primarily was low in the thoracic patients, but in the tibia and metatarsal it showed a more linear correlation with neurological levels. The effect of age was highly significant at all sites; after controlling for this, the neurological level was a significant determinant of bone density at all sites, and this effect was greater in older children. Patients with impaired ambulation had decreased bone-density in the distal radius, tibia and metatarsal, but not in the mid-radius. Race had no significant effect on density after accounting for differences in neurological level. Weight for height and multiple fractures did not correlate with bone density. Although ambulatory status (weight-bearing stresses) and neurological status (muscle stresses) are both important factors in bone density, this study suggests that the latter is a more important determinant.

ROMEO, Auteur ; A. VAN LIERDE, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.495-501 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The medical records of 68 children who had had infantile febrile status epilepticus (FSE) were examined. Follow-up periods ranged from three to 28 years (mean 8 years 10 months). Details were abstracted of relevant medical events prior to FSE, diagnosis of the febrile illness, age at onset and main characteristics of FSE, and outcome (subsequent febrile convulsions and/or epilepsy, neurological and psychiatric disorders). Neither medical events prior to FSE nor aetiology of fever were associated with subsequent febrile convulsions, epilepsy, or neurological or psychiatric abnormalities. There was a significant association between age at onset of FSE and both subsequent epilepsy and CNS disorders. 12 of the 13 children who had had transient or persistent post-ictal hemiparesis subsequently developed epilepsy. Of the 46 children who later developed epilepsy, 34 had partial seizures and 12 had generalized seizures. The latter were more common among children who had had FSE before the age of one year. Likewise, all those who developed severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy had their first FSE before age one. These findings suggest that age at onset of FSE is the most important feature determining long-term outcome.

The infants were evaluated at four months corrected age on the Movement Assessment of Infants (MAI) and were followed to between three and eight years of age. For the CP group as a whole, 17 neuromotor items from the MAI were highly significant (p less than 0.001) predictors of cerebral palsy. A further 15 items also were significant, but less highly so (p less than 0.01 to p less than 0.05). Seven items were predictive of later spastic diplegia, seven of spastic hemiplegia, and 35 items differentiated quadriplegic infants. A shorter version of the MAI should be developed to increase its over-all reliability and validity in the early detection of cerebral palsy. Only then would it be possible to implement early therapeutic intervention and to evaluate its efficacy.

Acquired conduction aphasia in a child / Isabel Pavão MARTINS in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-4 (August 1987)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 29-4 (August 1987) . - p.532-536 Titre : Acquired conduction aphasia in a child Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Isabel Pavão MARTINS, Auteur ; José-Manuel FERRO, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.532-536 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : An 11-year old girl is described who acquired conduction aphasia after head trauma. Detailed study of her repetition defect showed that it was because of impaired short-term verbal memory. CT scan showed two hypodense areas in the left hemisphere, which included the supramarginal gyrus and Wernicke's area. This case is similar to adults with conduction aphasia, indicating the early intrahemispheric specialisation for verbal functions, in this case auditory verbal short-term memory.
