ABSTRACT
The children with suspicion of neuropsychological problems in early stages of the development like adults should undergo to a general, neurological medical valuation, and complementary studies (neurophysiologic and to imagen), to be able to settle down if some problem either exists that it can be linked to the development, acquired during the development process, or with a genetic base; likewise, to establish the etiology and reach of the problem or related deficits and planning to treatment.
Any psychological, neurological or behavioral deficit although it can be assumed that is caused by an dysfunctional alteration of some system in the brain and that the systems or neural subsystems are responsible. Anatomical lesion can be located in certain cerebral structure and neighboring areas in the brain.
The dysfunctions of the development - autistic spectrum, disorders of the language, attention deficit disorders with hyperactivity or impulsivity and co morbid behavior, dysfunctions of the learning, it notarizes and to give complementary information - with methods of recent neuroimagen- if they can localize sometimes small focal lesions characteristic and in some patient diffuse processes extensive of brain-displasias type, vascular lesions or dysfunctions of neuronal migration.
