[Dynamics of neurologic and mental development of children born by cesarean section]
Insights
Cesarean delivery may lead to early neurologic signs from perinatal central nervous system (CNS) damage. These signs evolve, and psychoneurologic disorders can worsen with poor environments, necessitating ongoing medical follow-up.

Abstract:
One hundred and fifty children delivered with cesarean section were investigated on four occasions over 5 years. In infancy the neurologic signs were detected which were caused by perinatal CNS damage. The signs occurrence increased over the first months and then leveled out. At this point the psychoneurologic disorders emerge and enhance under adverse environmental impacts. The dispensary follow-up is necessary for such patients.
