چکیده
Visual sensory and perceptive functioning in five-year-old very preterm/very low birth weight children. ABSTRACT Aim To examine visual sensory and perceptive functions, study their interrelations, and explore associations between visual dysfunctions and intelligence in very preterm/very low birth weight (VP/VLBW) children.

Relationship between Visual Impairments and Motor Problems Children 3-6 Age with Low Birth Weight
Abstract Birth weight is one of the most important indicators of neonatal health in any society and is considered as the best tool to measure the outcome of pregnancy and the most important factor in determining the incidence of disease or death of the infant. The purpose of this study was to investigating relationship between visual impairments and motor problems in children 3-6 age with ve...
متن کاملVisual function and white matter microstructure in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) adolescents – A DTI study
Premature birth is associated with visual impairments, due to both cerebral and ocular pathology. This study examined the relationship between cerebral white matter microstructure, evaluated by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and visual function, in 30 preterm born adolescents with very low birth weight (VLBW=birth weight⩽1500g) and an age-matched group of 45 term born controls. Visual acuity c...
متن کاملNeonatal White Matter Abnormalities an Important Predictor of Neurocognitive Outcome for Very Preterm Children
BACKGROUND Cerebral white matter abnormalities on term MRI are a strong predictor of motor disability in children born very preterm. However, their contribution to cognitive impairment is less certain. OBJECTIVE Examine relationships between the presence and severity of cerebral white matter abnormalities on neonatal MRI and a range of neurocognitive outcomes assessed at ages 4 and 6 years. ...
متن کاملTime, number and attention in very low birth weight children
Premature birth has been associated with damage in many regions of the cerebral cortex, although there is a particularly strong susceptibility for damage within the parieto-occipital lobes (Volpe, 2009). As these areas have been shown to be critical for both visual attention and magnitudes perception (time, space, and number), it is important to investigate the impact of prematurity on both the...
متن کاملThe effect of preterm birth on vestibular evoked myogenic poten-tials in children
Background :Preterm birth is a significant global health problem with serious short- and long-term consequences. This study examined the long term effects of preterm birth on vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) among preschool-aged children. Methods : Thirty-one children with preterm and 20 children with term birth histories aged 5.5 to 6.5 years were studied. Each child underwent...
