We have examined 202 patients who referred to our clinic from 2012-2016. The age range was 2-18 years. After examination we have concluded the following recommendations: - to implement neuropsychological rehabilitation in order to stimulate mental development; - to work with speech therapist to improvement the speech; - to work individually with psychotherapist to improve the behavior; - to train the parent to manage the behavior at home; - to give the personal card containing information about exercises, games and puzzles to stimulate the development and in some cases to give individual educational program; - to give separate information to parents and in some cases to teachers of kindergartens and schools.

The causes of somatoform disorders in children and adolescents and clinical description of various syndromes like hypochondric impairment, non epileptic paroxysmal disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, trauma and headache are presented in this review. The modern epidemiological evidences of mentioned conditions are also considered which indicate on progressive increase of these diseases for recent 20 years. We have also discussed the standardized methods of prevention, differential diagnosis and treatment of somatoform diseases.

The aim of the study was to detect the ADHD syndrome in preschool children and elaboration of therapeutic recommendations. We have examined 84 patients with ADHD syndrome. Their age varies from 6 to 10 years. The first group of patients had the history of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, while the second group had no perinatal pathology. Common level of intellectual development in the both groups of children was normal, which gave them ability to attend usual secondary school (IQ approximately equals 85-92). Physical data were normal as well. ADHD syndrome was revealed in the both groups of patients. Symptoms discovered in the II group of patients indicated to the preexistence of perinatal pathology, which was not noticed in the medical record. The incidence and expression of symptoms were more prominent in the I group of patients.

Visuo-spatial inattention (VSI) was examined in 390 patients with ischemic insult to the right or left cerebral hemispheres. VSI was revealed in 44 out of 80 patients with right parietal lobe damage and in 30 out of 70 subjects with right occipital lobe injury. Only one patient out of 100 with left hemisphere injury has shown the signs of VSI. These data confirm the suggestion that the right parietal and occipital regions are crucial for visuo-spatial attention, whereas the left hemisphere is of minor import.
