Neuropsychological assessment of subjects with brain injury
a literature review
Keywords:
Neuropsychology, Brain injuries, Cerebral PalsyAbstract
This article aims to present a review of neuropsychological evaluations of children and adolescents with brain injury, diagnosed with cerebral palsy and traumatic brain injury, from January 2006 to October 2011. In research, we used the database of LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde), PubMed (US National Library of Medicine) and SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online). We identified a total of 28 studies, 26 international and 2 national articles, and 4 on cerebral palsy and 24 traumatic brain injury. The results showed that neuropsychological assessment is often used to identify performance and behavioral sequelae arising in children and adolescents after insult, with a focus on understanding intelligence, executive function, memory, attention, language and social skills. The instruments used were more neuropsychological WISC-III and IV, WPPIS, Trail Making Test and Verbal Fluency Test. Quantification of publications in the period investigated, related to neuropsychological evaluation with the population of brain injured, was in its infancy, even considering their relevance on the conditions and the evolutionary educational interventional propositions.
