title: [Neurologic development in children with birth weight under 1,000 grams].
abstract: A follow up study of 27 children with birth weight less than 1,000 g was done. Their mean birth weight was 881.2 g +/- 102.2 g and gestational age 27.2 +/- 1.8 weeks. One child died at four months of age and four children were lost to follow up. Twenty two patients were followed for 43.6 months, range 2 to 6 years. At follow up seven children (31.8%) showed evidence of neurologic sequelae, six with spastic signs and one with cicatricial retrolental fibroplasia. All children with neurological sequelae had evidence of intracranial hemorrhage. Fifteen of 22 children under effective follow up are apparently normal.
