Abstract

A neuropsychological battery was given to a CT-defined group of children shunted for uncomplicated hydrocephalus with estimated normal range IQs. When no other brain anomalies were present, verbal IQ estimates were inferior to age and sex matched controls, but still in the normal range. In the presence of average academic performance and normal range IQ, impairment of neuropsychological functioning in verbal and nonverbal memory, fine motor speed, and visuospatial problem solving was observed. Successful neurosurgical management of hydrocephalus is not necessarily equated with achieving normal neuropsychological functioning.

摘要

对一组经CT诊断为单纯性脑积水且智商估计在正常范围内、已接受分流手术的儿童进行了神经心理成套测验。当不存在其他脑部异常时，言语智商估计值低于年龄和性别匹配的对照组，但仍处于正常范围内。在学业成绩中等且智商在正常范围内的情况下，观察到言语和非言语记忆、精细运动速度以及视觉空间问题解决方面的神经心理功能受损。脑积水的成功神经外科治疗不一定等同于实现正常的神经心理功能。
