To evaluate the presence of neurological soft signs (NSS) and to correlate them with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC III) in patients with rolandic epilepsy (RE).
Forty children and adolescents aged between 9 and 15 years were studied. They were divided into two groups: G1 - patients with RE (n=20) - and G2 - healthy controls without epilepsy (n=20). They were assessed with the Quick Neurological Screening Test (QNST II) - clinical trial to search for NSS -, and the WISC III - neuropsychological test.
No statistical difference between groups was found in WISC III and QNST II. However, children with poorer motor skills had worse performance in the QNST II and also in the execution intelligence quotient - IQ (p=0.001) and in total IQ (p=0.004), thus showing a positive correlation between them.
The QNST II is a good screening tool for the neurologist to detect abnormalities in fine motor skills.
评估罗兰多癫痫(RE)患者中神经软体征(NSS)的存在情况,并将其与儿童韦氏智力量表(WISC III)进行相关性分析。
对40名年龄在9至15岁之间的儿童和青少年进行研究。他们被分为两组:G1组——RE患者(n = 20)和G2组——无癫痫的健康对照组(n = 20)。使用快速神经筛查测试(QNST II)(用于寻找NSS的临床试验)和WISC III(神经心理学测试)对他们进行评估。
在WISC III和QNST II中,两组之间未发现统计学差异。然而,运动技能较差的儿童在QNST II以及执行智商(IQ)(p = 0.001)和总智商(p = 0.004)方面表现更差,因此表明它们之间存在正相关。
QNST II是神经科医生检测精细运动技能异常的良好筛查工具。
