Follow-up study of 482 cases with convulsive disorders in the first year of life / Giovanni B. CAVAZZUTI in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-4 (August 1984)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-4 (August 1984) . - p.425-437 Titre : Follow-up study of 482 cases with convulsive disorders in the first year of life Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Giovanni B. CAVAZZUTI, Auteur ; Pierre FERRARI, Auteur ; M. LALLA, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.425-437 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A total of 482 patients who had had one or more seizures in the first year of life were followed for at least five years (most for more than 10 years). The patients were divided into four groups: febrile convulsions, infantile spasms, status epilepticus and 'other'. Of those with febrile convulsions, 62 per cent developed normally, compared with 14 per cent in the group with infantile spasms, 15 per cent with status epilepticus, and 24 per cent in the 'other' group. Findings on recurrent seizures, epilepsy and mental retardation and/or neurological abnormalities are also reported. Epilepsy developed equally frequently among those with partial and with generalised seizures, but the former more frequently became mentally retarded. The effects of severity of seizures and other factors are discussed. In general, this research confirmed the grave prognosis after seizures during the first year of life, and not only for West syndrome and status epilepticus. The outcome was more favourable when the seizures were cryptogenic or febrile, isolated, with onset in the second six months, generalised, and when the EEG was normal between seizures.

Neurobehavioural comparison of low-risk preterm and fullterm infants at term conceptional age / Fabrizio FERRARI in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 25-4 (August 1983)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-4 (August 1983) . - p.450-458 Titre : Neurobehavioural comparison of low-risk preterm and fullterm infants at term conceptional age Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Fabrizio FERRARI, Auteur ; Maria V. GROSOLI, Auteur ; Giorgio FONTANA, Auteur ; Giovanni B. CAVAZZUTI, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.450-458 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The neurobehavioural performances of 20 low-risk preterm infants born at 33 weeks gestation or less were examined with the Brazelton Scale at the expected date of delivery, and 20 healthy fullterm infants were also examined on the fifth day of life. The preterm infants were significantly inferior in orientation, motor performance, regulation of state and autonomic regulation. With the exception of autonomic regulation, the neurobehavioural clusters were more heterogeneous among the preterm group. The data suggest that low gestational age at birth, even following relatively normal pre-, peri- and neonatal development, is associated with a behavioural repertoire which is different, more heterogeneous and on average poorer than that of fullterm infants.
