Scope note: Trastornos neurológicos que aparecen en niños después de la exposición al plomo. La manifestación más frecuente de toxicidad al plomo en niños es una encefalopatía asociada con la ingestión crónica de plomo que se presenta generalmente en edades entre 1 y 3 años. Las manifestaciones clínicas incluyen cambios de conducta seguidos de letargo, CONVULSIONES, ALUCINACIONES, DELIRIO, ATAXIA y vómitos. Puede producirse una elevación de la presión intracraneal (HIPERTENSIÓN INTRACRANEAL) y EDEMA CEREBRAL. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1210-2)

Scope note: Neurologic disorders occurring in children following lead exposure. The most frequent manifestation of childhood lead toxicity is an encephalopathy associated with chronic ingestion of lead that usually presents between the ages of 1 and 3 years. Clinical manifestations include behavioral changes followed by lethargy; CONVULSIONS; HALLUCINATIONS; DELIRIUM; ATAXIA; and vomiting. Elevated intracranial pressure (HYPERTENSION, INTRACRANIAL) and CEREBRAL EDEMA may occur. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1210-2)
