ABSTRACT

Este artigo aborda a presença e a apresentação clínica da disfunção executiva em pacientes com TDAH. Na medida em que sintomas de disfunção executiva determinam as alterações de funcionamento desses pacientes nas atividades do dia-a-dia, torna-se relevante o estudo das relações entre alterações em testes neuropsicológicos formais de funções executivas e a ocorrência desses sintomas. A constatação relativamente recente do papel da disfunção executiva no TDAH tem impulsionado a pesquisa neuropsicológica, mas os dados até agora disponíveis são ainda pouco consistentes. Uma visão atualizada dessas questões sugere que a semiologia neuropsicológica disponível ainda não alcança plenamente a constelação de sintomas prßticos do TDAH no dia-a-dia, mostrando a necessidade de avanços na pesquisa dessas relações.


This article addresses the presence and the clinical presentation of executive dysfunction in patients with ADHD. Because symptoms of executive dysfunction apparently determine functional abnormalities in daily activities, the study of the correlations between such manifestations and abnormalities in formal neuropsychological tests becomes clinically relevant. The relatively recent realization of the pivotal role of executive dysfunction in ADHD has kindled interest in neuropsychological research, but the data generated thus far are still not fully consistent. An updated view of these issues suggests that the available neuropsychological semiology is not sufficient to identify or predict the full constellation of practical symptoms of ADHD in daily life. Thus, more research is needed to establish secure links between neuropsychological testing and symptoms of executive dysfunction in the practical functioning of patients with ADHD.
