Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Recently it is often very frequent a request of specialist consultation for children with psychic discomfort expressed through somatic complaints and/or behavior disorders. The real meaning of these symptoms in terms of prognosis, is not clear; indeed they can be the first signs of a poor prognosis of developmental disorders or a transient developmental crisis. The objective of this study is the evaluation of a Symptom Checklist as an instrument which allows to point out the somatic complaints and the behavior disorders of Italian children aged less than 48 months and to identify symptoms patterns which label the main neurological and psychiatric diseases in that age. METHODS:The Symptom Checklist has been used transversely in a clinical sample of 30 subjects (24 males and 6 females) aged less than 48 months with developmental linguistic disorder, born prematurely or with a developmental pervasive disorder and in a control sample of 37 children (21 males and 16 females). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS:The results obtained, matching every single group to each other and every single group to the control group, identify symptoms pattern (somatic or behavioral) specific for each clinical condition examined; therefore, the clinical utility of Symptom Checklist in pointing out in infancy psychiatric risk cases for a poor prognosis is confirmed.
