ABSTRACT A comparison study of maternal characteristics in a sample of mentally retarded children and in paired non-retarded children from epileptic and psychotic mothers matched. for sex, age and living area was done. Thirty-two children of epileptic mothers and 42 children of psychotic mothers were classified into three and two groups according to the presence of mental retardation, respectively. The frequency of maternal epileptic seizure during pregnancy was significantly higher in the mentally retarded offspring group than in the other two groups. Almost all seizures of the mothers of children with mental retardation were taken for a type of generalized motor seizures. Generalized motor seizures during pregnancy and maternal lower mental condition would be a risk factor of mental retardation in the offspring. An impressive difference between the groups of offsprings of psychotic mothers was observed during the offspring’s infancy. About 71 per cent in the group of children with mental retardation was brought up by their mostly psychotic mothers during infancy. Many of the children without mental retardation were raised in foster home care. These facts would imply that some behaviour in the children with mental retardation could be related to postnatal environmental abnormal factors.
