Eighty-nine boys and twenty girls with minor neurodevelopmental disorders underwent
cranial computed tomography (CT). Twenty-five per cent showed aberrations at CT. The
incidence of manifest lefthandedness and of developmental language disorders was not
higher among children with pathological CT findings than among those with normal ones.
Nineteen per cent of the children with pathological CT results but only 1 % of those
with normal CT findings had had afebrile seizures. Abnormal chromatographic patterns
of peptides and protein associated peptide complexes in the urine were found significantly
more often in children with pathological than in those with normal CT.
