ABSTRACT

The children with suspicion of neuropsychological problems as much in greater early stages of the development as must be put under a general, neurological medical valuation, and complementary studies (neurophysiologic and imagen), to be able to settle down if he exists some problem or that can tie to the development or acquired. In the morbid disorders of the development that include the autism, Asperger’s, disintegrative developmental disorders of children, Rett’s and morbid disorders of the development - not specific-. The studies can complement information that could be useful for its management. The disorder of development of Language (DDL), also called specifically deterioration language, talks about the inadequate acquisition of one or more aspects of language to weigh of cognitive abilities, sensory-motor and normal hearing, the image studies also are of great utility. Studies of neuroimage can recognize involvement of neuronal networks with related structures these functions. The anatomical hypotheses in relation to the implied cerebral structures in neurological studies, have specially concentrated in the paper of the prefrontal areas and the caudate nucleus. ADDH have anomalies in the fronto-estriatal development at least, in singular opercula (executive areas), and the posterior parietal regions (behavior) compared with the children without ADDH. The studies of normal Magnetic Resonance (RM), the functional RM [RMf), the spectroscopy RM [RMe], have been consistent to demonstrate that the children with ADDH have anomalies in the fronto-estriatal development at least, and of cyngulo (executive areas), and the posterior parietal cortex (behavior) compared with the children without ADDH, mainly when these new structural techniques are used..
