Intelligence after malnutrition caused by neonatal resection of ileum.

Assessment of intelligence by the "draw-a-man" test and school reports has shown 
that, despite severe early malnutrition in children who had neonatal resection 
of ileum, the frequency of mental retardation is no higher than 
in the normal population. The scores in patients with cystic fibrosis 
were also similar to the control group.
