“…This methodology has been applied successfully to understanding the underlying nature of other developmental disorders (e.g. Pitchford, 2000;Scerif, Cornish, Wilding, Driver, & Karmiloff-Smith, 2004) so should provide insight into the nature of difficulties shown in very preterm children of preschool age. To our knowledge, no qualitative studies have been reported in very preterm preschool children, but investigations reporting on both quantitative and qualitative measures of performance across different cognitive processes should help to elucidate the precise factors underpinning difficulties, which is necessary for designing effective interventions.…”

Cognitive impairment often follows preterm birth but its early underlying nature is not well understood. We used a novel approach by investigating the development of colour cognition in 54 very preterm children born p30 weeks gestational age without severe neurosensory impairment and 37 age-matched term-born controls, aged 2-5 years. Quantitative and qualitative differences in the development of colour cognition are well charted throughout the preschool years, enabling delayed from deviant development to be determined. Standardized domain-general and experimental colourspecific tests of language, attention, and memory were employed. Very preterm children showed significantly depressed language than term controls, with very preterm group girls significantly outperforming boys. Very preterm children also showed poorer attention and memory than term controls, but not significantly so. Importantly, colour-specific tests showed qualitatively similar performance, but for naming and executive planning quantitatively poorer performance, across groups, indicating typical but delayed development. Hence, even before school entry, compared with term-born peers, very preterm children show delayed development of cognitive processes that underpin later scholastic abilities, but the nature by which these processes operate appears to be typical of term children. If left untreated these early developmental delays may underpin later deviations from the typical developmental trajectory.

“…Many studies (n= 21) did not recruit a control group but compared scores to published normative data. The sample sizes ranged from a case series with five participants with stroke [49],) to a large prospective longitudinal outcome study of 163 children with a history of stroke (ischaemic and sinovenous thrombosis) [23]. Due to small sample sizes, several studies report predominantly descriptive findings with limited statistical analysis.…”

Neuropsychological outcome following childhood stroke – a review

et al. 2017

Objectives. Childhood stroke is a rare but devastating occurrence. Its infrequency has meant that a clear body of knowledge has not been fully established regarding its impact on neuropsychological outcome. Our aims were i) to critically review the recent literature on neuropsychological outcome following childhood stroke; ii) to investigate the factors related to neuropsychological outcome following childhood stroke.Methods. Literature searches were conducted and revealed 39 relevant papers from the period 1999-2015.Results. The review found that a significant number of children experience difficulties in a wide range of neuropsychological domains, with particular vulnerabilities noted in attention, speed of information processing and executive functioning. There were inconsistent findings regarding the correlates of neuropsychological outcome, which is likely due to methodological limitations of the studies.Conclusions. This review strongly indicates that childhood stroke can affect a myriad of neuropsychological domains, with attention, speed of processing and executive function particularly vulnerable. Methodological issues, particularly around heterogeneous samples and measurement difficulties, limit the conclusions that can be drawn regarding the predictors of outcome.

RESUMO -São descritos 10 casos de crianças com idade cronológica entre 5 anos e 1 mês e 5 anos e 11 meses, divididas em grupo de doença cere b ro v a s c u l a r, (G-DCV) e grupo controle (Gc). As crianças do G-DCV apresentaram DCV confirmada na fase aguda através de exame neurológico clínico e de imagem na UNI-C A M P. Nas avaliações utilizou-se triagem audiológica, protocolo de avaliação da linguagem infantil, teste de vocabulário por imagens Peabody, com o objetivo de avaliar os diversos subsistemas lingüísticos e as noções perceptivo-cognitivas. Na análise qualitativa do G-DCV, do ponto de vista fonoaudiológico e neuro l ó g i c o , quando comparado ao Gc, mostrou recuperação completa do distúrbio adquirido de linguagem (DAL) em 2 crianças e alterações de linguagem em 3. O estudo dos casos revelou que os diversos aspectos que constituem a linguagem em desenvolvimento na criança pré-escolar devem ser analisados de forma individual, quantitativa e qualitativamente para achados conclusivos.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: linguagem, criança, doença cerebrovascular. Cerebrovascular disease: language acquisition in preschool childrenABSTRACT -We describe ten children, aging 5 years and 1 month until 5 years and 11 months, when the p h onoaudiological assessment was conducted. They are divided according to cerebrovascular disease, in CVD group (CVD-G) and control group (cG). Children were seen and CVD was confirmed in the acute phase at UNICAMP hospital. Audiologic assessment, protocol for Infant language assessment, and Peabody picture v o c a b u l a ry test were used in the evaluations. The qualitative analysis of the subjects from a phonoaudiological and neurological point of view has shown the re c o v e ry of acquired language desorder (ALD) with no influence whatsoever in the development of 2 subjects and subtle language and/or learning pro c e s s alterations for 3 subjects. The cases study has revealed that all aspects of language development in pre s c h o o l c h i l d ren should be analyzed in an individual, quantitative, and qualitative basis to lead to conclusive f i n d i n g s .KEY WORDS: language, child, cerebrovascular disease.O primeiro estudo realizado no Brasil sobre afasia adquirida na infância, na década de 50, foi feito por Antonio B. Lefèvre 1 . Afasia adquirida na criança é considerada algo excepcional e pode ser constatada pós-lesões traumáticas, infecciosas, tumorais, associadas a doenças involutivas, entre outras. A p resenta características como: redução da expre ssão verbal oral, sobretudo, escrita; freqüência m a i o r dos distúrbios da expressão da linguagem e em menor grau da compreensão. Crianças que apresentam anormalidades vasculares como a doença c e re b rovascular (DCV) na infância podem caracterizar quadro de distúrbio adquirido de linguagem (DAL), manifestando dificuldades em desenvolver suas habilidades lingüísticas. A DAL consiste um estado de re g ressão; a lesão do sistema nerv o s o central (SNC) ocasiona perda das atitudes verbais e a criança fica prejudicada em relação a si mesma, o...
