Resumen
Introduction. Technological advances have helped to lower the rate of infantile mortality and to raise the survival rate of preterm infants. Thus, studies need to be conducted in this segment of the population, while prematurity continues to be one of the risk factors for neuro-sensory-motor disorders. There is evidence to show that these children present visual and visuoperceptual disorders. With regard to visual problems, the literature suggests the hypothesis that the gestational age at the moment of birth exerts an influence on the child's visual behaviour. Bearing this evidence in mind, doubts are raised as to whether such alterations can be detected in periods that are appropriate for the development of vision. Subjects and methods. We carried out a cross-sectional follow-up study of preterm infants in the first month of life who had their visuomotor behaviour evaluated at the chronological and corrected age. All of them were evaluated by applying the method for assessing the visual behaviour of infants, which is based on tests from the Bayley scales of infant development, as an instrument for investigating visuomotor behaviour. Results. Most of the preterm infants presented a response, with a higher frequency in the eye contact tests, smiling as a social response, horizontal and vertical visual tracking, and increased mobility of the upper limbs on seeing the object at the corrected age. Conclusions. The responses obtained in this study allow us to confirm the importance of taking into account the corrected age when measuring the parameters involved in the development of visuomotor behaviour. © 2009, REVISTA DE NEUROLOGÍA. 48 1 13 16 Dweck, H.S., Saxon, S.A., Benton, J.W., Cassady, G., Early development of the tiny premature infant (1973) Am J Dis Child, 126, pp. 28-34 Weinacht, S., Kind, C., Monting, J.S., Gottlob, I., Visual development and full-term infants: A prospective masked study (1999) Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci, 40, pp. 346-353 Hack, M., Fanaroff, A.A., Outcomes of children of extremely low birthweight and gestational age in the 1990s (2000) Semin Neonatol, 5, pp. 89-106 Vohr, B.R., Wright, L.L., Dusick, A.M., Mele, L., Verter, J., Steichen, J.J., Neurodevelopmental and functional outcomes of extremely low birth weight infants in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network, 1993-1994 (2000) Pediatrics, 105, pp. 216-226 Finnstrom, O., Olausson, P.O., Sedin, G., Serenius, F., Svenningsen, N., Thiringer, K., Neurosensory outcome and growth at three years in extremely low birthweight infants: Follow up results from the Swedish national prospective study (1998) Acta Paediatric, 87, pp. 1055-1060 Prechtl, J.C., Cohen, L.B., Pesaran, B., Mitra, P.P., Kleinfeld, D., Visual stimuli induce waves of electrical activity in turtle cortex (1997) Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 94, pp. 7621-7626 Hard, A.L., Niklasson, A., Svensson, E., Hellstrom, M., Visual function in school age children born before 29 weeks of gestation: A population-based study (2000) Dev Med Child Neurol, 42, pp. 100-105 Gagliardo, H.G.R.G., Gonçalves, V.M.G., Lima, M.C.M.P., Método para avaliação da conduta visual de lactentes.
