RESUMO -Analisamos o exame video-polissonográfico de 26 recém-nascidos de termo (RNT) com 24 horas de vida. Os RN tinham exame neurológico e ultrassonográfico cerebral normais e apresentaram período perinatal isento de complicações. Foram subdivididos em dois grupos, um controle constituído de 11 RNT com peso adequado para a idade gestacional; e um grupo de 15 RN com peso abaixo do esperado para o termo (RNT-PIG). Do segundo grupo, 13 RN apresentaram algum tipo de alteração ao exame video-polissonográfico. As alterações mais frequentes foram na arquitetura do sono, 11 casos, e no comportamento, em que oito RN apresentaram número excessivo de sobressaltos ("startle") em relação ao grupo controle e dois RN uma atividade motora reduzida. Os resultados deste estudo demonstram a utilidade da video-polissonografia quando aplicada a RNT-PIG. O exame mostrou-se sensível em detectar diferenças no comportamento, arquitetura do sono e padrão eletrencefalográfico dos RNT-PIG quando comparados ao grupo controle. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: polissonografia neonatal, RNT-PIG, EEG neonatal. Video-polygraphic-EEG study in the full-term newborn with low birthweight for their gestational ageABSTRACT -Video-polygraphic-EEG studies were performed in the first 24 life-hours of 26 healthy full-term newborns without perinatal injuries. The neurological examination and cranial ultrasonography were normal. The newborns were divided into two groups: one, with full-term appropriate -birth weight 11 newborns (control group ) and the other with full-term low-birth weight 15 newborns. Thirteen newborns of the second group had video-polygraphic-EEG study abnormalities. The most frequent abnormalities were found in 11 cases, as far as sleep architecture is concerned. Also, when compared with the control group, 8 cases of an excessive amount of startles and 2 cases of low behavior activities were found. The results demonstrate the usefulness of videopolygraphic-EEG study in the full-term newborns with intra-uterine growth retard. This examination was sensitive to detect behavior, sleep architecture and EEG standard differences in the low birth-weight newborns as to the control group.
