Department of Pediatrics, Chiba University School of Medicine, Japan.

Thirty infants who weighed less than 1,000 g were evaluated as to neurological functioning and mental ability at 1 year and, again, at 3 years of age. The results of the examinations showed the high correlation in the neurological status between infancy and the preschool period, particularly, for children who were diagnosed as being clearly normal or abnormal at 1 year. There was a high percentage of psychomotor delays in those with ophthalmic complications.

D002547 Cerebral Palsy A heterogeneous group of nonprogressive motor disorders caused by chronic brain injuries that originate in the prenatal period, perinatal period, or first few years of life. The four major subtypes are spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed cerebral palsy, with spastic forms being the most common. The motor disorder may range from difficulties with fine motor control to severe spasticity (see MUSCLE SPASTICITY) in all limbs. Spastic diplegia (Little disease) is the most common subtype, and is characterized by spasticity that is more prominent in the legs than in the arms. Pathologically, this condition may be associated with LEUKOMALACIA, PERIVENTRICULAR.
