| Abstract |
|
Brain computed tomography was carried out on 37 patients with developmental retardation with
or without growth retardation which were admitted to Pediatric Department of Dong San Hospital,
Keimyung University during the period of 6 years and 2 months from April 1980 to May 1986 and
following results were obtained.
Computed tomographic abnomalities were defined in 78.4% of these patients. Majorities were
brain atrophy (55.2% ) and hydrocephalus (27.6% ). The abnorrnal rate was higher in the patients
with motor dysfunction such as walking, speech and head control disturbances.
Computed tomography is useful procedure for evaluation of the patiens with developmental
retardation and we believe that computed tomography can be paπ of the usual evaluation of
children with developmental or mental retardation. |
