17 former patients with nutritional marasmus due to malabsorption syndromes of various etiology were followed-up at the age of 5 7/12 +/- 2 1/12 years for the assessment of their psychomotor development. As to the intelligence quotient there was no significant difference in comparison with a representative random sample of 200 preschool children. The mean IQ was 92 +/- 20 (n = 17). 2 children were moron (IQ 64 and 61, resp.), one child was imbecile (IQ 46). In two of them familial disposition of debility must be assumed. The deficit in the capability of the psychomotor functions was striking (fine motoricity, designing). 6 children showed mild forms of electroencephalographic deviations from normal (relative frequency 0.35).
