Abstract :

Aim:

          To study about the role of EEG and urine metabolic screening in school children facing Dyslexia.

Methods:

          This study is prospective analytical study carried out in Bethesda Hospital, Erode, from August 2016 to December 2017.Dyslexic children’s Antenatal, Natal, Post Natal, Childhood and Adolescence risk factors were analyzed. Electroencephalography, urine metabolic screenings were done to all dyslexic childrens. EEG changes were analyzed.

Results:

          This study is done in 50 dyslexic school children with means age 10.37years. Incidence is males (72%), females (28%). Among 50 dyslexic children 38 childrens showed statistically significant EEG changes (P<0.0001) focal changes showed statistically significant (P<0.0001) value. Statistical analysis revealed High risk childrens showed statistically significant EEG changes (P<0.001). Antenatal risk factors (P<0.03), Intranatal risk factors (P<0.04), Newborn risk factors (P<0.04), Infant risk factors (P<0.03), Childhood risk factors (P<0.002), showed statistically significant EEG changes in dyslexic children. Epilepsy children had statistically significant EEG changes (P<0.001). Urine metabolic screening was negative in all dyslexic children.

Conclusion:

          EEG in dyslexic children showed statistically significant EEG changes. Urine metabolic screening in dyslexic children was not significant. Appropriate prevention and management of Antenatal, Intranatal, New born, Infant, Childhood and Adolescence risk factors helps in decreasing the burden of Dyslexia in the school childrens.
