[Cardiac children surgically treated under deep hypothermia in the first months of life. Psychopedagogic evaluation].
A psychometric and behavioral evaluation was undertaken in the first 31 patients surviving after intracardiac repair during circulatory arrest and deep hypothermia in the first months of life. I.Q. in these patients were similar to those in normal children albeit that no extrasurgical pathological condition impaired the cerebral potential (dysmaturity). Graphic and spatial structuration problems were present in half the patients around age 5-6 years. These problems disappeared later on. Functional autonomy was decreased at the beginning of school. There was no school absenteism. Participation in gymnastics was normal. One third of patients participated in sports regularly.
