Childhood ischemic strokes can lead to problems like hemiplegias, epilepsies, cognitive changes (memory and mathematical solutions), and language ability (reading, writing, and aphasias). The purpose of this study was to evaluate language and its aspects in children with unilateral ischemic stroke and associate them with the age during the event, injured side, and occurrence of epilepsy. Thirty-two children between 8 months and 19 years of age were evaluated. Among them, 21 (65%) had a change in their language skills, there being a connection between age and the time of injury (P < .05). The most impaired aspects were their phonology, semantics, and syntax. In this sample, there was a persistent change in the semantic aspect, which is an alert for the early detection of learning and future development problems.
OBJETIVO: A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo determinar a frequência e a ocorrência de elementos pré-linguísticos em crianças normais durante o primeiro ano de vida. MÉTODOS: A amostra constituiu-se de 33 crianças nascidas a termo e normais, no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, selecionadas aleatoriamente para um estudo de coorte. As informações, de acordo com as variáveis sorriso social, sons inarticulados, balbucio monossilábico, balbucio polissilábico, primeiras palavras/palavras-frase, jargão e frases, foram obtidas através do inquérito (informações dos pais), da observação espontânea do examinador e de estímulos facilitadores. RESULTADOS: A partir dos resultados obtidos, é possível estabelecer um padrão de desenvolvimento normal das manifestações pré-linguísticas. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados indicaram a necessidade de revisar dados de avaliação de linguagem já estabelecidos por pesquisas realizadas no passado e as avaliações em uso atualmente.
