Abstract

Objective:To identify the relationship between the Psychomotor Performance and the Intelligence Quotient in preschoolers diagnosed with Congenital hypothyroidism (CH).

Methods:Transversal study with 58 preschoolers diagnosed with CH. Picq and Vayer test (PV) and Wechsler preschool and primary scale of intelligence (WPPSI) were used.  Pearson's correlation coefficient and analysis of variance were estimated.

Results: Body schema (BS) from the PV test showed the highest statistically significant correlation with global IQ  from the WPPSI (r=0.410); verbal IQ (VIQ) with Language (LE) (r=0.479); and performance IQ (PIQ) with BS (r=0.444). Components from the PV test showing significant correlations with verbal sub-scale of WPPSI.  Projective drawing correlated to 4 of the 5 sub-scales assessed by the Performance sub-scale fo WPPSI (r 0.267 to 0.465).

Conclusion: Psychomotor development in preschoolers is the major predictor of the performance functions of children with hypothyroidism.
