Algorithm of diagnostics of cognitive functions development violation in children born extremally premature

A qualitative improvement in the management of pregnancy and delivery, optimization of General care and provision of intensive care for children born prematurely, particularly with low and extremely low body weight, significantly reduced the risk of damage to the nervous system of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic genesis. At the same time, there is a significant number of children born at low gestational age, with a significant violation of intellectual, cognitive development and behavior change. One of the assumptions about cause of improper maturation of the brain is the role of unbalanced chromosomal and genomic micro anomalies. There is provided the data on the survey of 22 children with approximately the same clinic of developmental disorders, 19 of which revealed various structural micro-damages of genesis, but their interpretation is difficult today. The algorithm of selection of children for the extended genetic examination is given.
