Comparative study of the neuropsychological and neuroimaging evaluations in children with dyslexia

Abstract: -We analyzed re t rospectively the neuroimaging exams of children with a confirmed diagnosis of dyslexia and correlated our findings with the evaluation of higher cortical functions. We studied 34 medical files of patients of the Ambulatory of Neuro -d i fficulties in Learning, FCM/UNICAMP. All of them had been sent to the ambulatory with primary or secondary complaints of difficulties at school and were submitted to neuropsychological evaluation and imaging exam (SPECT). From the children evaluated 58.8% had … Show more

“…Studies carried out in Brazil evidenced these alterations in the neurological functioning of children with such diagnosis (21,22) . Results from the study of Kujala et al (23) indicated that training causes a change in the cortical hearing plasticity, which is a result from the increase of neurophysiological activities and time of reaction to alteration of sounds, accompanied by improvement in reading performance.…”

“…The auditory processing, phonological awareness and sound discrimination are factors that interfere with the learning of reading and writing because they are directly related to receptive hearing (5,6) . Data from the literature demonstrate auditory deficits in children with learning disabilities (7) .…”

“…Finalmente, o fator idade indicou que, quanto mais novas as crianças, maior a quantidade de erros de todos os tipos. Quanto à variável sexo, embora não se tenha evidenciado diferença estatisticamente significativa, de modo geral, os meninos apresentaram mais erros do que as meninas, corroborando estudos já realizados que reforçam o melhor desempenho das meninas nas tarefas de leitura e de escrita (22) .…”
