[Neuropsychological aspects of disorders of higher functions of the cerebral cortex in children with speech disorders].

A complex and multiaspects study of the high cerebral function--speech, gnosis, praxis, gesture and mimics has been coducted on 98 children with proved speech defects--alalia, dyslalia, dysgraphia, dyslexia and stammering. In high percentage of the children various focal neurological signs have been established (so called soft neurological symptoms). Very high was the percentage of the children with visual-space defects.

Most cases presented benign aseptic meningitis, sometimes with a short period of general cerebra- symptoms.
