“…A great deal of research also has focused on the more problematic issue of whether, in the absence of clear-cut neurological disease, it is possible to identify a level of cerebral dysfunction at which there is a relationship with psychiatric illness in children. Some studies have found certain signs to be more common in such groups (Paine et al 1968, Denckla and Rude1 1978, Quinn and Rapoport 1979, Mikkelsen et al 1982, but others report that they occur too frequently among normal children to have much aetiological significance (Adams et al 1974, Hart et al 1974, Shaffer 1977, Cantwell and Tarjan 1979, Werry 1979. These impairments may be termed 'functional', insofar as they appear without neuropathological evidence of structural brain-damage.…”

“…For example, various neurological examinations have been employed to investigate the prevalence of different neurological signs in children with minimal brain dysfunction, hyperactivity and learning disabilities (reviewed by Benton 1975, Dubey 1976, Rapoport and Ferguson 1981, Szatmari and Taylor 1984.

This study attempted to produce a simple, scorable test of neurological function and to see whether, in the absence of obvious central nervous system disease, the neurological impairments so defined were related to psychiatric disorders. 138 children aged between seven and 11 years from four schools undertook a standardised test based on the Fogs' test. Those who performed poorly on the test had a higher frequency of behaviour problems, motor inco-ordination and adverse perinatal events. Children with any kind of behaviour problem had more difficulty with the test than those without, but hyperactive children did worse than antisocial children. The strength of the statistical association between behaviour problems and functional neurological impairment varied with the social circumstances of the children. Neurological impairment was found more frequently among behaviour-problem children from suburban schools than those from inner-city schools. It appears that a degree of dysfunction lying between brain damage and normal variation places children at higher risk for the development of behaviour problems. Such dysfunction, together with psychosocial disadvantage, may be important aetiological factors in behaviour disorders during childhood.

RESUMO -Avaliamos escolares de primeira série do ensino fundamental, utilizando semiologia neurológica. Foram convidados, sem o conhecimento prévio do desempenho escolar, todos os alunos que frequentavam 5 classes de primeira série do primeiro grau de uma escola pública escolhida ao acaso, no município de Itatiba / São Paulo, cujos pais assinaram o Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido. Foram excluídos aqueles cujos pais não assinaram esse termo ou não compareceram a 3 consultas agendadas em dias diferentes. Utilizou-se o Exame Neurológico Tradicional (ENT) (Lefèvre, 1972). Considerou-se como normal a realização de todas as provas do ENT e as medidas do perímetro craniano propostas por Diament & Rodrigues (1976 Neurologic examination of a group of children attending first grade of a elementary schoolABSTRACT -We evaluated children in the first grade of a elementary school using neurological examination. With no previous knowledgement of their educational performance, were invited all children attending five classes of the first grade of an elementary public school chosen randomly, in Itatiba / Sao Paulo / Brazil, whose parents assigned a Commitment Term for participation in this research. Children who missed three evaluations in different days or whose parents did not assigned the Commitment Term were excluded. The Traditional Neurological Examination (ENT) (Lefevre, 1972) was applied. It was considered for normal the measurement of the skull circumference, proposed by Diament & Rodrigues (1976), and the application of all ENT items. The data were stored in a database of the Epi6 Program (Epidemiologic Information), and analyzed by percentage calculation and by the χ 2 test. The significance level was 0.05. Children evaluated were 124. The ENT results were normal in 87 (70.16%) and altered in 37 (29.83%). Among the alterations, there were observed: light tremor, light muscular hypotonia, speech acquisition delay, macrocephaly, microcephaly, hyperactivity, cranial nerve syndrome, central facial paralysis. One child presented corticospinal tract impairment syndrome of the distal lower extremities.

“…Such impairments are significantly associated with learning difficulties and educational underachievement (Fitzhardinge andRamsay 1973, Francis-Williams andDavies 1974). One recent report found that 64 per cent of children with a birthweight < l000g had attended a special education programme (Nickel et at. 1982).…”

“…Erratic maturation patterns, neurological deficit and a lag in neurological development have all been cited as possible causes of behavioural and intellectual difficulties 709 710 among low-birthweight survivors (de Hirsch et a/. 1966, Nickel et al 1982. The nature and direction of the relationship between these two factors, together with their individual or joint causes, is still a matter for conjecture.…”

SUMMARY The developmental outcome of 61 very low‐birthweight infants was studied prospectively by means of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development at one and two years of age, corrected for prematurity. Preliminary analysis revealed that the mean scores for mental and psychomotor development were within the normal limits at both testing occasions. However, further analysis showed that there was a significant decrease in mental development scores from one to two years of age, due primarily to an increase in the numbers of low‐scoring children with ‘hyperactive’ behaviour at two years. Separate subgroups of children with suboptimal mental and psychomotor development scores were characterised at both testing occasions by the presence of ‘hyperactive’ behaviour and disability, usually of a minor degree. The presence of hyperactivity, disability and lowered mental performance may help in the early identification of children at increased developmental risk. RÉSUMÉ Les déterminants des performances de développement chez les survivants de très faible poids de naissance à Iàge de un et deux ans Le devenir dévelopmental de 61 nourrissons de très faible poids de naissance a étéétudié prospectivement à l'aide de la Bailey Scale of Infant Development aux âges de un et deux ans, après correction pour prématurité. Une analyse préliminaire révéla que les scores moyens de développement mental et psychomoteur étaient dans les limites de la normale aux deux âges. En fait, des études ultérieures montrérent une diminution significative des scores de développement mental entre lâge de un et deux ans avant tout en raison d'un accroissement du nombre des enfants avec faible performance et un comportement instable à làge de deux ans. Des sous‐groupes séparés d'enfants avec des scores de développement mental et psycho‐moteur sous‐optimaux sont apparus caractérisés aux deux examens successifs par un comportement instable et une incapacité, généralement mineure. La présence d'instabilité, d'incapacité et de performances mentales basses peut aider à l'dentification précoce des enfants exposés à un risque accru de troubles du développement. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Maßstäbe für die Entwicklung von ein‐und zweijährigen Kindern, die ein sehr niedriges Geburtsgewicht hatten Die voraussichtliche Entwicklung von 61 Kindern mit sehr niedrigem Geburtsgewicht wurde im Alter von ein und zwei Jahren unter Verwendung der Bayley Scales of Infant Development unter Berücksichtigung der Unreife untersucht. Eine vorläufige Analyse ergab, daß die Mittelwerte für die geistige und psychomotorische Entwicklung bei beiden Untersuchungen innerhalb der Norm lagen. Weitere Analysen jedoch zeigten, daß die Parameter für die geistige Entwicklung im Alter von zwei Jahren deutlich schlechter waren, was primär durch eine Zunahme der Anzahl der Kinder mit schlechten Testergebnissen durch ‘hyperaktives' Verhalten im Alter von zwei Jahren bedingt war. Andere Untergruppen von Kindern mit niedrigen geistigen und psychomotorischen Entwicklungsscores fielen bei beiden Untersuchungen dur...
