An evaluation was made of a retrospective evolution presented by the pacients from 6 to 14 years and 11 month old (average 9,2 years old), with a diagnostic of attentional hiperactive disorder (AHD), treated with metilfenidate in Huechuraba during the year 2007. A revision of every clinic history showed the principal results: a high positive response (higher than the 76% of the measured parameters). The evaluated parameters were, academic response, selfreport of subjective opinion from the patient, opinion from the tutor of the child in relationships with his/her conduct at home and teacher's evaluations of the child conduct at school. No differences were found between the evolution of the clinic parameters, in children with and without comorbilities. It was found a 52, 7% of comorbility. Specific learning disease, adaptative disorder, anxious disorder, and depression were more frequent diagnoses. This study conludes that the high percent of success in the treatment of the student group is similar to the one found in literature. The presence of comorbility won't cause to down of the treatment efficiency. This is conditioned by the presence of psychosocial factors like maternal psychopathology and familiar violence.
