Children with large heads: a practical approach to diagnosis in 557 children, with special reference to 109 children with megalencephaly / John LORBER in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 23-4 (August 1981)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 23-4 (August 1981) . - p.494-504 Titre : Children with large heads: a practical approach to diagnosis in 557 children, with special reference to 109 children with megalencephaly Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : John LORBER, Auteur ; Betty L. PRIESTLEY, Auteur Année de publication : 1981 Article en page(s) : p.494-504 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Among 557 children who presented a diagnostic problem of a large head, 109 had megalencephaly as the primary diagnosis. 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.

Isosorbide in the management of infantile hydrocephalus / John LORBER in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 25-4 (August 1983)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-4 (August 1983) . - p.502-511 Titre : Isosorbide in the management of infantile hydrocephalus Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : John LORBER, Auteur ; Stephen SALFIELD, Auteur ; Tony LONTON, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.502-511 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Experience with 101 hydrocephalic infants treated primarily with isosorbide is reported. For those with moderate hydrocephalus the aim was to avoid shunt surgery, and this was achieved in 31 of the 43 infants. In cases with severe hydrocephalus or when the cerebrospinal fluid was abnormal the aim was to delay shunt surgery until the optimum time, with a lower risk of complications. Five of 48 such infants avoided shunts and 30 achieved a worthwhile delay. Nine other children were treated with isosorbide following shunt complications. Toxic effects were infrequent, not severe, and reversible on stopping treatment or reducing dosage. 63 infants eventually had shunts inserted.

Lacunar skull deformity related to intelligence in children with myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus / A. P. LONTON in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, S35 (December 1975)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > S35 (December 1975) . - p.58-64 Titre : Lacunar skull deformity related to intelligence in children with myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : A. P. LONTON, Auteur ; N. A. BARRINGTON, Auteur ; John LORBER, Auteur Année de publication : 1975 Article en page(s) : p.58-64 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : It has been suggested that the presence of lacunar skull deformity in infants with myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus is indicative of later lowered intelligence and therefore is a useful criterion in early selection for treatment. In the present study, retrospective investigations were made of the clinical records and skull X-rays of 169 surviving children who had been admitted immediately after birth with myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus to the Children's Hospital, Sheffield. Adequate X-rays were available for 131 of the children, of whom 97 per cent exhibited some degree of lacunar skull deformity. At five years of age or older, the 131 children were tested on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. The differences in mean IQ between the various degrees of severity were not large, and it was found that 82 per cent of children with the most severe degree of lacunar skull deformity had IQs above 70. These findings do not support the use of lacunar skull deformity as an important measure in selection for treatment of children with myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus.

En dépit d'un programme génétique semblable (quatre paires dizygotes) ou identique (six paires monozygotes) et des influences intra- et extra-utérines, et socio-économiques globalement identiques, la consistance des différences entre les enfants hydrocéphales et leurs jumeaux apparemment normaux indique des différences systématiques dans l'organisation pré-, péri- et ou précocement post-natale et le développement de la fonction hémisphérique. Les études de suivi ont démontré la possibilité d'une intelligence au dessus de la moyenne, en dépit d'une réduction dramatique de l'épaisseur du manteau cérébral dans l'hydrocéphalie à début précoce. Les distributions atypiques du développement des aptitudes chez les jumeaux non hydrocéphales confirment également les points antérieurement reportés dans les études de signification des facteurs génétiques vs. environnementaux chez les jumeaux.
