A esquizofrenia ao longo da infância

Resumos

As pesquisas sobre os grupos “de alto risco” (filhos de pais esquizofrênicos), assim como os estudos prospectivos na população geral, mostram que os futuros esquizofrênicos apresentam, comparativamente aos sujeitos-controle, atrasos do desenvolvimento psicomotor, déficits cognitivos e algumas particularidades comportamentais. Tais dados parecem confirmar a idéia segundo a qual a esquizofrenia corresponderia a um distúrbio neurodesenvolvimental cuja expressão varia ao longo da vida. As especificidades clínicas e evolutivas dos raros casos de esquizofrenia iniciando-se na infância levam alguns autores a pensar que se trataria de uma entidade específica e cujo pertencimento ao “espectro autista” necessita ainda ser estudado.

Los trabajos de investigación sobre grupos “de alto riesgo” (hijos de padres esquizofrénicos), así como los estudios prospectivos en la populación general, muestran que los futuros esquizofrénicos presentan, comparativamente a los sujetos-control, atrasos del desarrollo motor, déficit cognitivos y algunas particularidades de comportamiento. Esos datos parecen confirmar la idea de que la esquizofrenia correspondería a un disturbio de neuro-desarrollo cuya expresión varia a lo largo de la vida. Las especificidades clínicas y evolutivas de los raros casos de esquizofrenia que se inician en la infancia llevan algunos autores a pensar que se trataría de una entidad específica y cuya pertenencia al “espectro autista” necesita ser todavía estudiado.

Les recherches sur les groupes “à haut risque” (enfants de parents schizophrènes), ainsi que des enquêtes prospectives en population générale montrent que les futurs schizophrènes présentent, comparativement aux témoins, des retards du développement psychomoteur, des déficits cognitifs et certaines particularités comportementales. Ces données semblent confirmer l’idée selon laquelle la schizophrénie correspondrait à un trouble neuro-développemental dont l’expression varie au cours de la vie. Les spécificités cliniques et évolutives des rares cas de schizophrénie débutant dans l’enfance amènent certains auteurs à penser qu’il s’agirait d’une entité spécifique et dont l’appartenance au “spectre autistique” demande encore à être envisagée.

The researches on “high risk” groups (children of schizophrenic parents), just like the prospective studies in the general population, show that the future schizophrenics present, comparatively to the “control-subjects”, delays on their psychomotor development, cognitive deficits and some behavioral particularities. Such data seem to confirm the idea from which the schizophrenia would correspond to a neurodevelopmental disturb whose expression varies along one’s life. The clinical and developmental intricacies of the rear cases of schizophrenia that begin during childhood make some authors think that it could be related to a particular entity and whose belonging to the “autistic spectrum” still needs to be researched.
