Abstract
Abstract This is a report of a case study of the neuropsychological pattern in a child who sustained an early brain damage diagnosed at six months of age (left hemiparesis and pseudo-bulbar syndrome). Neuropsycholinguistic tests were administered longitudinally at times separated by an interval of one year between the age of six and 16 years. Scores showed significant discrepancies in her neuropsychological development with an extreme scatter of strengths and deficiencies. The most significant functional deficiencies were language acquisition at the expressive level and visual-spatial skills; in contrast, academic achievement was good (logical reasoning superior according to Piagetian tasks). Clinical, educational and neuropsychological research implications of the longitudinal pattern are discussed for further studies.
