Developmental Delay: Diagnostic Approach
(The Diagnostic Approach to Symptoms and Signs in Pediatrics)

  • Cornerstoneof evaluation for developmental delay or mental retardation is thorough historyand physical exam, including neurologic exam. First step is to determinewhether delay involves motor or language skills alone or whetherglobal delay exists. If delay is global, next step is to determine whetherit is static or progressive. Final step is to make specific diagnosis,if possible. This is important for management, prognosis, and geneticcounseling purposes.
  • Presence of specific physical, radiologic,and lab findings helps narrow diagnostic possibilities when consideringmany metabolic brain diseases associated with developmental delayor loss of attained skills (Table13.1 ).
