  4. 3. Neuromotor development and brain structure in children born extremely preterm

    Författare :Lina Broström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Children born extremely preterm (EPT) are increasingly surviving but it is well known that they face a high risk of brain injury and neurodevelopmental impairments. The overall aim of the studies included in this thesis was to investigate the relationships between brain alterations and neurodevelopment, with specific focus on neuromotor outcomes in children born EPT.

  5. 4. Visual function and ocular morphology in children with surgically treated hydrocephalus

    Författare :Susann Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :vision; hydrocephalus; ocular morphology; children;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Aims To investigate the frequency of ophthalmological abnormalities, the need and timing of eye-care interventions as well as incidence, aetiology and neurological/neuropsychological outcomes in children with hydrocephalus needing surgical treatment during the first year of life. Patients and Methods Papers I & II: Seventy-five school-aged children (34 girls and 41 boys) with surgically treated hydrocephalus and 140 age and sex matched control participants underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination including structured history taking regarding visual perceptual problems and ocular fundus photography.
