summary

Some time ago, I worked as a volunteer with my best friend in the welfare home. As a result, I saw a newborn baby sent there. After asking, I learned that she had cerebral palsy since she was born, and then she was abandoned. Today, let me talk about what cerebral palsy looks like.

What does baby cerebral palsy look like

First: dystonic cerebral palsy is more common in children, mainly manifested as a significant reduction in muscle tension. Can not stand to walk, head and neck can not be raised, obvious movement disorders, excessive range of joint activity, but active tendon reflex, pathological reflex may appear. It is often accompanied by aphasia and low intelligence. The main manifestations of children with cerebral palsy are abnormal movement, motor enhancement, hand foot bradykinesia, chorea and myotonia; ataxia and hypotonia occur when cerebellar lesions occur;

Second: language disorder: about 1 / 3 to 2 / 3 patients have different degrees of language disorder. Performance for language development delay, pronunciation difficulties, articulation is not clear, can not say a sentence, can not correctly express their own meaning, some patients completely aphasia. Visual impairment: About 25-50% of the patients with visual impairment, the most common is intraocular strabismus and ametropia, such as myopia, amblyopia, strabismus and so on. A few of them have nystagmus, and occasionally they are totally blind.

Third: mental retardation: about 2 / 3 of patients with mental retardation, about 1 / 4 for severe mental retardation, spastic quadriplegia and ankylosing cerebral palsy patients with mental retardation is worse. Severe mental retardation is rare in patients with hand foot bradycardia. Sensory and cognitive abnormalities: cerebral palsy patients often have tactile, position sense, entity sense, two-point discrimination loss. Most of the patients lack correct visual space and stereo sense, and their cognitive function defects are more prominent.
