This study was undertaken in order to investigate the effects of closed head injury with coma, sustained during school age (7-14 years) on the neuropsychological performances of the subject examined at least 7 years later, in early adulthood (18-27 years). Twenty-one subjects who met these requirements were examined with neuropsychological tests, supplemented by complete neurological examinations and interviews with both the subject and at least one relative. Only 3 subjects out of 21 were found to be "impaired" from a neuropsychological point of view, since they fell below the cut-off scores in at least 4 tests out of 9. These findings suggest that the long-term prognosis of closed head injury in school-age children is generally good. The factors that may have influenced the prognosis in these patients are discussed.
本研究旨在调查学龄期（7 - 14岁）遭受的闭合性颅脑损伤伴昏迷对至少7年后成年早期（18 - 27岁）受试者神经心理表现的影响。对符合这些条件的21名受试者进行了神经心理测试，并辅以全面的神经系统检查以及对受试者本人和至少一名亲属的访谈。从神经心理学角度来看，21名受试者中只有3人被发现“受损”，因为他们在9项测试中的至少4项测试中低于临界分数。这些发现表明学龄期儿童闭合性颅脑损伤的长期预后通常良好。文中还讨论了可能影响这些患者预后的因素。
