title: [Minimal brain dysfunction in childhood].
abstract: Minimal (minor) dysfunction of brain (MDB) is the peculiar form among other consequences of perinatal damages of nervous system. The problems of organization of medical care for children with MDB at preschool age are very important. 106 patients with MDB aged 3-8 years were examined. Detailed clinical-neurological, neuropsychological, instrumental and some other forms of examinations were performed including data about postnatal development. It is demonstrated that MDB may be considered as a diffuse cerebral dysregulation, conditioned by a delay of maturation of some connections between different CNS regions. Leading levels of maximal dysregulation are identified. A necessity was emphasized of early revelation, prolonged follow-up and purposeful rehabilitation of such patients.
