The role of spontaneous general movement assessment in the neurological outcome of cerebral lesions in preterm infants (original) (raw)

2004, Jornal de Pediatria

Abstract

Apesar dos avanços na assistência pré-natal e na terapia intensiva neonatal terem gerado uma redução significante na mortalidade neonatal, os recém-nascidos pré-termo (RNPT) ainda correm risco de disfunções do sistema nervoso relacionadas a lesões cerebrais ocorridas durante os períodos pré-natal e perinatal 1. Os principais distúrbios neurológicos comumente relacionados à lesão cerebral perinatal no RNPT incluem as formas diplégica e hemiplégica de paralisia cerebral, geralmente acompanhadas de distúrbios cognitivos. As neuropatologias usualmente relacionadas a esses distúrbios motores são o infarto hemorrágico periventricular considerado uma das complicações da hemorragia periventricular e a leucomalácia periventricuar 2 .
