[Minimal cerebral dysfunction and partial disorders of performance in children]

On-target examination of children has been increasingly revealing minimal cerebral dysfunction (MCD) and in some cases also partial disturbances of performance. Both the aetiology and the symptomatic are not uniform, especially with MCD. There is a predominance of overlapping between MCD and the partial performance disturbances. Case reports are presented as selections from the enormous variety of possible disturbances, partly supplemented by drawings. There are neither any suitabloe screening methods nor any causal treatment for both disturbances. Nevertheless, most surprising results can be achieved by symptomatic treatment if suitable measures are carried out with great intensity and for a prolonged period.
