Some problems concerning psychiatric sequelae in brain-injured children. Abstract Text:

The report concerns 100 children (64 boys, 36 girls, 2-15 years old) with psychiatric disorders due to mechanical injuries of the brain. The symptoms occurred for the most part within 1-3 years after the injury. They were: encephalopathy (35 cases), characteropathy (5), neurosis (16), epilepsy (44). Epilepsy was the most important posttraumatic problem, particularly the focal form of epilepsy. There was conformity between focal changes in the EEG curves and the clinical character of seizures. The age of the child at the moment of the injury, the gravity of the injury, and previous organic disorders caused by abnormal delivery seem to be the main factors determinant of the severity of the psychiatric sequelae of a trauma. Mechanical trauma seems to activate former latent lesions of the brain due to abnormal delivery.
