Hidrosefali tanısı konan çocuklarda nöropsikolojik değerlendirme: Literatürün gözden geçirilmesi

Hidrosefali, serebral ventriküllerin tümü veya bir bölümünün genişlemesi ile giden ve içindeki beyin omurilik sıvısı miktarının artması sonucu meydana gelen nörolojik ve nöropsikolojik belirtiler topluluğudur. Hidrosefali tanısı konan bireylerin nörolojik bozukluklarına sıklıkla motor, görsel algısal, görsel motor, dikkat, bellek, dil ve yönetici işlevler gibi bilişsel bozulmaların da eşlik ettiği bilinmektedir. Bu becerilerdeki bozulmalar hidrosefali hastalarının akademik ve sosyokültürel becerilerini olumsuz etkilemekte ve bu sorunlar bireyin tüm yaşamına yayılmaktadır. Bu nedenle, hidrosefali hastası çocukların erken döneminde bilişsel bozulmalarının saptanması, uygun tedavi ve rehabilitasyon programlarının geliştirilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, hidrosefali hastası bireylerin bilişsel alanda yaşadıkları güçlükleri tanımlamaya yöneliktir.

Neuropsychological evaluation of the hydrocephalic children: Review of the literature

Hydorcephalus is neurological and neurophsychological syndrom which is secondary to overloading of the cerebrospinal fluid which makes to enlarge cerebral ventricles. Therefore neurological smptoms usually could be seen together with some neuropyschological difficulties in motor, visual motor, visual perceptual, attention, verbal, and executive functions. These difficulties could negatively effect to the academical and socio-cultural skills of the patients, and will spread out their whole lifetime. So, cognitive deteriorations of these patients should be diagnosed properly; and appropriate treatment and rehabilitation programs should be applied early. Basic aim of this study is to define the cognitive difficulties of the hydrocephalic children.
