Abstract
CT (computed tomographic) brain scans on 20 individuals aged 20-24 who were grossly undernourished during infancy and on 20 controls showed no significant differences either between the groups or within individuals. On highly critical evaluation, 5 previously undernourished individuals had minimal changes not considered significant on routine CT scanning which correlated positively with tests for disturbances of visuomotor organization.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
