[Results of an electroencephalographic cross-sectional study of 2- to 4-year-old children after risk-birth in comparison with to normal-birth children of the same age].
The results of an one time electroencephalographic transversal examination of 146 children with syndrome of intrauterine asphyxia aged from 3 to 4 years are compared with the EEG-findings of 87 children of the same age born normally. 82,9% of the 146 children with higher damage susceptibility and 64,4% of the children of the comparison group have an EEG corresponding to the standard criterions of this age group. 8,2% of the children with higher damage susceptibility and 18,4% of the children born normally show in their resting electroencephalogram focal findings with and without spikes or generalized spike potentials. The results indicate, that by reason of the breadth of variation between normal and pathological EEG-findings in infancy data of the type and frequency of pathological EEG-features have only a value if they are compared with the results obtained from healthy children of the same age.
