Red Flag Signs in Development
- If milestones are not attained by the upper age limit, evaluated for possible cause of delay in development
Precocious Puberty
- Caused by Central or Peripheral CNS (Pituitary & hypothalamus related) functioning tumors of ovary or testis
- Eg: McCune-Albright syndrome (triad)
- Hypothalamic hamartoma
- Precocious puberty (ovarian cysts)
- Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia
- Cafe-au-lait macules
- Gliomas
Developmental Milestones
- 4 domains of development: Gross motor, Fine motor, Language, Social
Gross Motor Milestones
- Neck holding is attained at 3 months
- Roll over is attained at 4 months
- Sit with support, Tripod posture is attained at 6 months
- Sit without support, crawling is attained at 8 months
- Stand with support, creeping is attained at 10 months
- Stand without support, walk with support is attained at 12 months
- Walk without support is attained at 15 months
- Running is attained at 18 months
- Climbing with 2 feet/step is attained at 2 years
- Climbing with 1 foot/step: Upstairs, rides tricycle is attained at 3 years
- Climbing with 1 foot/step: Downstairs, hops is attained at 4 years
Developmental Quotient
- Developmental quotient = Developmental age (DA) x 100 / Chronological age (CA)
- Developmental delay: DQ < 70
- Global developmental delay: Delay in ≥ 2 domains → Significant brain problem (E.g: Cerebral palsy)
Nocturnal Enuresis
- Categories:
- a. 10: Never dry since birth (M/C)
- b. 20: Previously dry child
- Cause: Maturational delay of bladder
- Management:
- a. Ist line of Rx: Non-pharmacological → Motivation therapy + alarm therapy
- b. 2nd line: Desmopressin (Preferred, oral), anti-cholinergic (Oxybutynin)
