Objective:
To study the intelligence of 22 patients with CVPI.
Methods:
We examined the IQ of 22 patients with CVPI by Wechsler Primary Preschool Scale of Intelligence (WPSSI) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R).
Results:
The IQ of patients with CVPI was 44-109. The mean value and SD were 67.46+/-19.29. Patients with normal IQ accounted for 45.5%. 54.5% of patients with CVPI had mental retardation (MR), most of which were mild.
Conclusion:
More than half of the patients with CVPI showed MR. It's necessary to evaluate the intelligence in patients with CVPI, and give treatment as early as possible.
