CLINICOPATHOLOGIC DIAGNOSIS FOR ACADEMIC FAILURE IN SCHOOL: A CASE FROM PRACTICE
The article describes a rare case in the neurologists practice when a serious structural brain damage (leukodystrophy) was accompanied by relatively mild clinical manifistations in the form of cognitive disorders. At the same time, cognitive abnormalities are non-uniform in terms of their manifestation and are topically related to the localization of anatomical defects. The case is indicative with respect to opportunities of integrated diagnostics using MRI, EEG, neuropsychological tests in detailing anatomical and functional structure of an abnormality in a child with seemingly routine issue of academic failure in school.
