[Early diagnosis of minimal cerebral dysfunction]
The aim of this retrospective study was to find indicators for an early diagnosis of the MCD-syndrome. Two groups of children (n = 18), with and without MCD at the age of five years were compared in view of medical history and early developmental data. The results suggest that illnesses of the mother before the birth of the child, risk factors in the course of the second half of pregnancy, as well as slight retardation of the child's early psychomotor development deserve particular attention in further studies.
