Behavioural characteristics of children with permanent cortical visual impairment / James E. JAN in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-5 (October 1987)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 29-5 (October 1987) . - p.571-576 Titre : Behavioural characteristics of children with permanent cortical visual impairment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : James E. JAN, Auteur ; M. GROENVELD, Auteur ; A. M. SYKANDA, Auteur ; C. S. HOYT, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.571-576 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The common behavioral features of 50 children with permanent cortical visual impairment (CVI) are described. CVI is frequently associated with specific behavioural characteristics. The majority of these children have residual vision, but they all have variable and inconsistent visual performance, including visual acuity. They see better in familiar environments and when they understand what to look for and where to look for it. They often use touch to identify objects. Their ability to identify colours is much stronger than their perception of form. Many turn their heads to the side when they are reaching. Nystagmus and visual self-stimulation are exceptionally rare. They appear to have great difficulty with the cognitive evaluation of visual perception in spatial terms. Head elevation is worst in those with least vision, and without head elevation the possibility of visual stimulation is further restricted.

A longitudinal study of brainstem auditory evoked potentials of preterm infants / J. S. H. VLES in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-5 (October 1987)

DANIELS, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.577-585 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) of nine 'healthy' preterm infants were recorded at weekly intervals between 32 and 36 weeks conceptional age to study the relationship between stimulus intensity and central transmission time through the subcortical auditory pathway (i.e. the interval latency between peak I and peak V) as a function of conceptional age. Stimulus intensities of 70, 80 and 90 dB nHTL were used. Changes in click intensity produced changes in the absolute latency of all BAEP peaks, but the interval latency I to V remained constant. The absolute latencies and interval latencies reflected maturity, but varied widely between these preterm infants. The peak V latency and the I to V interval latency decreased with increasing conceptional age. Exponential regression analysis suggested that, above 70 dB nHTL, the time-constant of the calculated exponential function most likely represents maturation and function of the central subcortical pathway, and may give an indication of the infants' development.

MRI made it possible to detect a particular configuration of white-matter hyperintensities with sharply angled patches and a multifocal pattern, even during remission. Thus the site and extent of cerebral plaques could be demonstrated more clearly and more exactly than with CT. At present MRI seems to be the most reliable method for confirming suspected cases of multiple sclerosis in childhood.

Aetiological rôle of cerebral blood-flow alterations in development and extension of peri-intraventricular haemorrhage / Frank VAN BEL in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-5 (October 1987)

Using transcutaneous Doppler technique, the authors investigated cerebral blood-flow in 60 infants with gestations of less than 34 weeks. Pulsatility index (PI) and area under the velocity curve (AUVC) of the anterior cerebral arteries (ACA) were used as qualitative measures of cerebral blood-flow, and the coefficient of variation of PI and AUVC as indicators of fluctuations in blood-flow velocity. A reasonable correlation was found between PI and AUVC and their coefficients of variation in the ACA. First onset of PIVH was related to fluctuating blood-flow velocity, and extension of PIVH with both increased velocity (indicating increased blood-flow) and fluctuating velocity. Increased cerebral blood-flow and its fluctuating pattern were positively correlated with arterial carbon dioxide tension.

AULD, Auteur ; Evelyn LIPPER, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.615-623 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Information was obtained at age four years on the hand preference of 98 children who had been born prematurely with a very low birthweight and of 54 children born at term with no birth complications. Data were also collected on the hand preference of their parents. The preterm children had been assessed at age three years for IQ, expressive language, speech articulation and neurological status. A significantly lower proportion of preterm than of term children used their right hand for unimanual activities. Furthermore, those preterm children who were not right-handed were significantly more likely to have lower IQs, expressive language delays and articulation problems. Among preterm children with IQs greater than or equal to 85, language and speech problems were no more likely to occur in those who preferred the left hand or who used both hands than in those who preferred the right. The findings of this study support the theory that birth complications lead to cerebral insult which may alter hand preference, and at the same time affect mental and motor development.

At one year a repeat scan was done and neurodevelopmental outcome was assessed. Follow-up results at 3 1/2 years stress the importance of long-term follow-up: at one year four of the 50 children had developmental deficits, at 3 1/2 years 13 had such deficits. At 3 1/2 years the risk of neurodevelopmental deficits was extremely high for children with persistent haemorrhagic and/or atrophic ventricular dilatation. There was significant over-representation of children with developmental deficits in the group with abnormal scans, both neonatally and at one year. The incidence of cerebral palsy was high in the group with large haemorrhages extending into the parenchyma and/or periventricular leucomalacia. In the group with periventricular leucomalacia there was also a greater risk of mental retardation with severe behavioural problems. Follow-up at a later age than 3 1/2 years will be necessary to determine the effects on the motor, intellectual and emotional development of these children.

Most of these children, and the remainder of the sample, were assessed for intelligence, reading and behaviour problems at ages seven, nine and 11. Those in every language-delay group had significantly lower mean IQs and lower mean reading scores than the remainder of the sample. They also more often had a low IQ or a lower reading score at ages seven and nine and a lower Verbal and Full-scale IQ at 11. The groups with delayed verbal comprehension and general language delay had significantly more behaviour problems than the remainder of the sample. The group with general language delay was consistently the most disadvantaged in later intelligence, reading and behaviour. Two of the language-delay groups (comprehension and general language) had significantly higher scores on a family disadvantage index. The results of this study confirm the importance of early language delay as a predictor of lower than average intelligence and reading ability and increased behaviour problems.

Maturation of postural sway in young children / C. L. RIACH in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-5 (October 1987)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 29-5 (October 1987) . - p.650-658 Titre : Maturation of postural sway in young children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : C. L. RIACH, Auteur ; K. C. HAYES, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.650-658 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The postural sway of 76 healthy young children aged from two to 14 years was investigated to identify age-related changes in the extent of sway, the effects of eye-closure, and the spectral composition of sway. Postural sway was measured from the excursions of the centre of pressure of ground reaction forces, and was analysed for both time and frequency. Within the age-range of the children tested, postural sway decreased linearly with age. Boys tended to become more stable at a faster rate than girls, but started from an initially greater level of instability. The children's Romberg quotients, which provide an index of the influence of eye-closure on sway magnitude, were remarkably low in comparison with adult values. Power spectral analysis of the postural sway showed that the principal energy was contained below 0.7 Hz for both lateral and antero-posterior sway, but that very young children had some power in the 0.8 to 2.0 Hz range. Taken together, these results confirm and extend the previously established view that children use visual information to control balance in a manner different from that of adults, and that it is not until after the age of seven years that adult-like balance-control strategies begin to appear. Also, in contrast to adults, the appearance of sway at high frequencies in children is not necessarily associated with any pathology.

Postural sway was measured from the excursions of the centre of pressure of ground reaction forces, and was analysed for both time and frequency. Within the age-range of the children tested, postural sway decreased linearly with age. Boys tended to become more stable at a faster rate than girls, but started from an initially greater level of instability. The children's Romberg quotients, which provide an index of the influence of eye-closure on sway magnitude, were remarkably low in comparison with adult values. Power spectral analysis of the postural sway showed that the principal energy was contained below 0.7 Hz for both lateral and antero-posterior sway, but that very young children had some power in the 0.8 to 2.0 Hz range. Taken together, these results confirm and extend the previously established view that children use visual information to control balance in a manner different from that of adults, and that it is not until after the age of seven years that adult-like balance-control strategies begin to appear. Also, in contrast to adults, the appearance of sway at high frequencies in children is not necessarily associated with any pathology.

Cognitive functioning in albino children / G. F. COLE in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-5 (October 1987)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 29-5 (October 1987) . - p.659-665 Titre : Cognitive functioning in albino children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : G. F. COLE, Auteur ; P. CONN, Auteur ; R. B. JONES, Auteur ; J. WALLACE, Auteur ; V. R. MOORE, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.659-665 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Twelve albino children with IQs in the normal range were psychometrically assessed and compared to a control group of equally visually handicapped children who were non-albino. A striking and consistent pattern of cognitive functioning emerged in the albino group (a large verbal/performance discrepancy in favour of verbal skills) which could not be attributed to their poor visual acuity. This unusual pattern of intellectual functioning may be related to the unique neuroanatomy and neurophysiology recently demonstrated in people with albinism.

Co-ordination screening for children with and without moderate learning difficulties: further experience with Gubbay's tests / P. EHRHARDT in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 29-5 (October 1987)

EHRHARDT, Auteur ; Ian MCKINLAY, Auteur ; G. BRADLEY, Auteur Année de publication : 1987 Article en page(s) : p.666-673 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Modified Gubbay tests, assessing various aspects of motor performance, were administered to 885 Manchester children in mainstream primary education, and centile tables were drawn up by age. Children who had performed badly on one of the four tests were retested two years later, when they were found to have 'caught up' with controls. The primary-school children reached a ceiling in their performance by the age of nine or 10 years. A further 482 children, aged eight years to 16 years 11 months and attending schools for children with moderate learning difficulties, were assessed. These children showed continuing improvement up to the age of 14, after which little further improvement was seen. Thus this ceiling occurred some five years later than for the children in mainstream schools. On the more complex tests performance was worse than would have been predicted by general intelligence. Implications for policies of integration into mainstream schooling are discussed.

Protective reactions appeared relatively earlier in the sequential pattern for infants with Down syndrome than for non-handicapped infants. The study documents dissimilar sequences of postural reaction development for the two infant groups. The data suggest that both the delay and the dissimilar sequence of postural reactions should be considered when evaluating the motor development and movement quality of infants with Down syndrome.

Although the clinical picture mimicked cerebral palsy, it was possible intermittently to demonstrate normal tone and function. The emergence of these signs coincided with periods of artificially increased stimulation of the feet and legs, and they disappeared rapidly after withdrawal of the stimulation. It is possible that environmental factors are involved in at least some children who develop transient abnormal motor signs.
