 The article presents the results of studying the influence of perinatal factors and neurological disorders on the formation of attention deficit disorder (ADHD) in children; the results of assessing the cognitive status and attention indicators in children of the studied groups are presented.

The purpose was to study the perinatal causes, neurological manifestations, and cognitive status in children with ADHD.

Material and methods. The study involved 172 children aged 6 to 17 years with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD. The research methods included: clinical and anamnestic method with an emphasis on perinatal aspects; classical neurological examination; neuropsychological testing.

Results. The influence of antenatal factors and neurological disorders at the 1^st year of life on the formation of ADHD was revealed. The features of the cognitive status and attention indicators of children of both groups were studied.

Conclusions. A burdened perinatal history and neurological disorders developing against this background lead to an early manifestation of ADHD symptoms. The combination of neurological symptoms with low cognitive indicators and significant attention disorders in children of group I determines the low success of children in mastering educational programs. The presence of a burdened perinatal history (for a number of factors) should be considered as a predictor of the formation of ADHD, in order to further select children at risk for early preventive work.

Key words: perinatal neurology, pediatrics, neurology, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Toulouse — Pieron test.
