[Dental enamel hypoplasia in children with combined congenital and hereditary defects in the development of the CNS and the locomotor system (infantile cerebral palsy, spinal cord hernias and myopathies)].

The incidence of hypoplasia in children with congenital and hereditary developmental defects of the central nervous system and the locomotor system is high (44.5 +/- 3.5%), much higher than the incidence of hypoplasia in children without neurological disorders (2.0 +/- 2.0%). This is explained by exposure of the fetus and newborn to numerous intensive factors complicating the biological anamnesis because of profound disturbances of the metabolic processes and largely responsible for the underlying neurological disease and defects of hard dental tissues presenting as hypoplasia of the enamel.
