Neglect in children.

J M Ferro, I P Martins, L Távora

    Annals of Neurology
    |March 1, 1984

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Right-hemisphere brain lesions in children can cause neglect, similar to adults. However, children recover quickly, suggesting the right hemisphere is key for attention in older children.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Clinical Neurology

    Background:

    • Unilateral brain damage can lead to spatial neglect.
    • Neglect is well-documented in adults but less so in children.
    • The role of the right hemisphere in attention is established in adults.

    Observation:

    • Three children (aged 6+) presented with neglect after right-hemispheric lesions.
    • Lesions included striatoinsular infarction, meningioma compression, and intracerebral hemorrhages.
    • Clinical presentation of neglect mimicked adult cases.

    Findings:

    • Despite severe lesions, children exhibited rapid and complete recovery from neglect.
    • This rapid recovery may explain the underreporting of pediatric neglect.

  • The right hemisphere appears dominant for directed selective attention in children aged 6 and older.

    • Implications:

    • Pediatric neglect following focal brain injury is a distinct clinical entity.
    • Early identification and assessment are crucial due to rapid recovery.
    • Findings support the right hemisphere's critical role in attentional networks from childhood.
