Castillo O, et al. - Via comparing two cohorts of infants (aged between 5 and 18 years), researchers assessed the connection between visoperception and anthropometric features related to prenatal alcohol exposure. The study group included 79 kids, adopted from Eastern Europe. The control group consisted of children born in Spain matched by age and gender. For this investigation, all kids underwent a complete ophthalmological evaluation and standardized visual cognitive skills testing. According to results, adoptees presented worse visual motor and visual perceptual results in all skills vs control subjects, with a statistically significant difference in TVPS global centile, spatial relationships and visual figure-ground tasks. Face recognition in adopted kids was also considerably worse. Those diagnosed with foetal alcohol spectrum disorders showed incrementally worse visual perceptual and visual motor outcomes among adopted children. The authors concluded that children adopted from Eastern Europe are at increased risk of visual perceptual disabilities, particularly those with foetal alcohol syndrome disorder sentinel findings.
