Neuropsychological deficits in alternating hemiplegia of childhood: a case study
Alternating hemiplegic of childhood is a predominantly sporadic neurodevelopmental syndrome of uncertain etiology, characterized by alternating transient attacks of hemiplegia. Additional features include tonic fits, dystonic posturing, ocular motor abnormalities and deficits in cognitive functioning.
A girl of 7 years-old with alternating hemiplegic of childhood. The first symptoms debut at 17 months of age in the form of lower limb weakness, migraine, nystagmus and hemiplegic crisis alternating both hemibodies. We administrate the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children IV (WISC-IV), the Conners Continuous Performance Test II (CPT-II), the Conners scales for parents (CPRS-48) and teachers (CTRS-28) and the Behavior Rating Inventory Executive Function (BRIEF).
In our study we found deficits in sustained attention, reduced speed of information processing, and difficulties in understanding, speaking and working memory. In addition, parents and teachers reported behavioral disturbances, difficulties inhibition capability, in self-control and in regulating emotions.
La indagación científica en la línea Neurociencia-Cognición-Aprendizaje, facilita encontrar relaciones entre factores que afectan la triada salud humana, aprendizaje y desempeño. A su vez, Aprendizaje y Felicidad, son know-how tan íntimamente ligados que al resultar alterados forman barreras que convergen en frustración de las personas, requiriendo un diagnóstico/manejo oportuno/apropiado para superarlas. Es el eje de trabajo al revisar artículos de la investigación científica en este blog.
