Why is lower extremity central paralysis?

The common causes are intracranial hemorrhage after birth injury and purulent, tuberculous or other types of meningitis in the newborn or infant. In addition, there are also congenital malformations and tumors. The symptoms were recurrent vomiting. Brain degeneration, brain development disorders, central paralysis of limbs, especially the lower limbs, often with intellectual changes and developmental disorders. Optic nerve compression atrophy, can cause blindness. Nystagmus and convulsion were also common.

This disease should be differentiated from infant subdural hematoma or effusion, intracranial tumor and rickets. Diagnosis: congenital hydrocephalus in infants and young children usually begins to increase in the head a few weeks after birth, and is gradually found after 3-5 months. There are also cases of brain enlargement at birth. In clinical practice, the abnormal progressive enlargement of the head caused by increased intracranial pressure is out of proportion to the development of the whole body. The frontal part protrudes forward, the orbital apex is compressed downward, the binocular ball looks down, and the eyeball turns down, which causes the upper sclera to show white, the anterior fontanel to expand and the tension to increase, other fontanels can also expand, the skull bone suture to separate, and the scalp vein to expand.

Percussion of the head showed "broken pot sound". In infants with patent sutures and increased intracranial pressure, compensatory cranial enlargement may occur, so the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure may not be obvious in the early stage. However, hydrocephalus can also occur when it is serious and develops rapidly, and its symptoms are repeated vomiting. Brain degeneration, brain development disorders, central paralysis of limbs, especially the lower limbs, often with intellectual changes and developmental disorders. Optic nerve compression atrophy, can cause blindness.

matters needing attention

As the saying goes: "the head is big and smart", which often makes some parents have a fluke mentality for children with abnormal brain enlargement, so they often delay the illness, so they should take warning after knowing the disease. 3. Prevent flatulence and constipation. Encourage patients to eat more vegetables and fruits and less flatulent food. Constipation according to the doctor's advice to laxative or enema every 2-3 days. Or acupuncture, abdominal massage, congenital hydrocephalus is related to the lack or excess of certain vitamins in the fetal period, in addition to the genetic factors of parents. Therefore, proper and proper diet adjustment and non consanguineous marriage can reduce the incidence rate of the disease.
