RESUMO
The case of a child with a pervasive developmental disorder secondary to tuberous sclerosis is presented. Magnetic resonance images demonstrated several areas of decreased signal on both T1- and T2-weighted conventional spin echo sequences. The abnormal areas became more conspicuous on the gradient echo images. The increase in conspicuity of the parenchymal brain lesions in the gradient echo images was presumably secondary to magnetic susceptibility effects.

Coping ability was assessed in 12- and 18-month-old premature and full-term children, using an experimental barrier situation consisting of a double fence of boards and boxes which the child had to remove to reach the center. No term differences were found for the 12-month-old children: the task was too difficult for them. The term differences found at 18 months indicated that the prematures rested more and tended to smile more than did full-terms. The most dramatic finding was that only 4 of the 17 children who completed the task were premature. None of the findings for the 18-month-old children were related to intelligence.
