[Transitory neurologic findings in risk children in the first year of life].

During the first year of life many infants born "at risk" present neurological findings, which vanish by the end of the first year. These neurological symptoms are found by using a neurological examination, which employs the principles of Prechtl 's neurological examination of the newborn. Using this kind of neurological examination, the neurology of transitory findings was studied in 40 infants "at risk" during their first year of life. Only infants "at risk" were selected, who presented finally normal psychomotor development at the end of the first year of life.

[Acute benign ataxia in childhood].

The patogenesis and etiology of acute ataxia in childhood is not well known. It may occur without previous symptoms or may be the expression of specific infectious diseases. Forty patients hospitalized at the Hospital de Niños de Buenos Aires en 1972-1978, were studied. The neurological manifestations showed an acute onset, being ataxia the main sign, associate to tremor, nystagmus, dysartria, oculo-motor paresia, muscular weakness, and hyporeflexia. Most of the patients (82%) became cured within the first four weeks. It is advisable to establish a follow-up with periodic controls, mainly in those patients in whom an association with previous infectious diseases did not exist to be able to detect an association with degenerative or desmyelinizing diseases.
