Cerebral palsy slideshow presentation"Cerebral palsy is a result of brain damage occuring in the uterus or around the time of birth. By definition the neurological damage remains static throughout. Many people with CP lead highly independent successful lives and even those with severe motor problems may have normal or above average intelligence."
Slideshow transcript Slide 1: CEREBRAL-PALSY definition causes POSTER criteria types problems, commonly associated features, suggesting progressive CNS disorder Slide 2: definition heterogenous group of static motor and posture disorders of cerebral/cerebellar origin frequently accompanied by epilepsy, sensory impairement, and mental retardation definition does not imply etiology nonprogressive, clinical manifestation changes because of brain development Slide 3: causes cerebral malformation infection perinatal stroke multiple pregnancy hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy trauma Slide 4: criteria P osturing/abnormal movements O ropharyngeal problems (e.g. swallowing) S trabismus T one (hyper-, hypotonia) E volutional maldevelopment (e.g. primitive reflexes persist or parachute reflex fail to dev.) R eflexes (e.g. increased deep tendon) abnormalities 4/6 strongly point to CP Slide 5: types pyramial or spastic CP (damage up. mot. neuron) extrapyramidal or nonspastic/dyskinetic CP (e.g. choreoathetosis) hypotonic CP ataxic CP (cerebellar signs) mixed CP Slide 6: problems associated mental retardation, learning disabilities ophthalmologic abnormalities, hearing deficits seizures failure to thrive, feeding problems, gastroesophagela reflux behavioral and emotional problems communication disorders Slide 7: suggest. progressive CNS disorder increasing head circumference eye anomalies skin/sensory abnormalities hepato-/splenomegaly decreased/absent deep tendon reflexes developmental regression/failure to progress look for other diseases, rather than CP Slide 8: cave no correlation between low APGAR and CP only 3%-21% of CP related to birth asphyxia
