Abstract

ABSTRACT Hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) is a neurocutaneous disorder associated with central nervous system abnormalities, including speech delay and intellectual disability. The long term neuropsychological and social characteristics of these children are unknown. Neuropsychological observations and parental reports were obtained yearly on a child with HI from ages 7 to 18 years. Serial measures of intelligence revealed stable verbal and perceptual reasoning scores with later improvements in working memory and processing speed performance. Speech articulation improved at age 12, as did the speed of right-hand finger tapping. Improved social integration occurred, but anxiety persisted throughout this developmental period.

7岁伊藤黑素减退症患儿随访11年的神经心理及社会特征分析。

伊藤黑素减退症(HI)是一种与中枢神经系统异常相关的神经皮肤疾病，包括语言迟缓和智力残疾。这些儿童的长期神经心理和社会特征是未知的。从7岁到18岁，每年对一名HI患儿进行神经心理学观察和父母报告。一系列智力测试显示，言语和知觉推理得分稳定，工作记忆和处理速度表现随后有所改善。在12岁时，说话的清晰度和右手手指敲击的速度都有所提高。社会融合得到了改善，但焦虑在整个发育时期持续存在。

期刊介绍： Devoted to exploring relationships between brain and behavior across the life span, Developmental Neuropsychology publishes scholarly papers on the appearance and development of behavioral functions, such as language, perception, and social, motivational and cognitive processes as they relate to brain functions and structures. Appropriate subjects include studies of changes in cognitive function—brain structure relationships across a time period, early cognitive behaviors in normal and brain-damaged children, plasticity and recovery of function after early brain damage, the development of complex cognitive and motor skills, and specific and nonspecific disturbances, such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, schizophrenia, stuttering, and developmental aphasia. In the gerontologic areas, relevant subjects include neuropsychological analyses of normal age-related changes in brain and behavioral functions, such as sensory, motor, cognitive, and adaptive abilities; studies of age-related diseases of the nervous system; and recovery of function in later life. Empirical studies, research reviews, case reports, critical commentaries, and book reviews are featured in each issue. By publishing both basic and clinical studies of the developing and aging brain, the journal encourages additional scholarly work that advances understanding of the field of lifespan developmental neuropsychology.
