title: [Minimal brain dysfunction in children (neurologic aspect)].
abstract: The paper contains some data of a dynamical study of 108 children with early organic brain lesions. Starting from the neonate period, in 29 cases (26,8%) there was a stable focal neurological symptomatology, in 42 (38,9%)--symptoms of neuropsychic abnormalities were not found. In 37 cases (34,3%) there was a neurological and psychopathological symptomatology, typical for minimal brain dysfunction. The studies indicate a certain role of the organic factor in the etiology and clinical signs of minimal brain dysfunction in infants. The conclusion is made that there is a necessity for a thorough neurological examination of infants with pathology in the perinatal period with slight neurological changes or considered to be practically normal. Early treatment and prevention of clinical signs in minimal brain dysfunction is stressed.
