What are the main symptoms of common pediatric cerebral palsy?

Manifestations of cerebral palsy:

1.Abnormal posture, children with cerebral palsy have an awkward posture when moving or at rest, with asymmetrical sides, or swaying from side to side.

2.Language disorders, slurred pronunciation or stuttering, inability to speak, etc.

3.Failure to thrive. Most children with cerebral palsy are shorter than normal.

4.Intellectual disability, 70% of children with cerebral palsy have moderate to severe mental deficiency, etc

Generally, you can understand it clearly here.

Hello, in addition to the complex condition of cerebral palsy, there are many symptoms of clinical manifestations, such as children will not turn over, will not sit, will not crawl, will not laugh, thumb adduction, eye strabismus, drooling, unable to speak, stiff and tense limbs, foot inversion, pointed feet, scissor step, knee reflexion, mental retardation and other symptoms, some children will show a variety of symptoms, and some children only show one of these symptoms. Different types of cerebral palsy have different symptoms.

The symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy patients are mainly manifested in limb movement disorders, intellectual disabilities, language disorders, behavioral abnormalities and so on. 4 5 months will not be able to grasp things, the head will not be straight, 6 months will not be able to sit upright, 8 months will not be able to climb, 1 year old will not be able to speak, or the above manifestations of obvious slowness, etc.

Generally take a closer look at this.

Polio is an acute infectious disease caused by poliovirus, which is a neurotropic virus, which mainly invades the motor nerve cells of the central nervous system, and mainly causes motor neuron damage in the anterior horn of the spinal cord. Most of the patients are children aged 1 to 6 years, and the main symptoms are fever, general malaise, severe limb pain, irregular distribution and flaccid paralysis of varying severity, commonly known as polio. The clinical manifestations of polio are varied, including very mild nonspecific lesions, aseptic meningitis (nonparalytic poliomyelitis), and flaccid weakness of various muscle groups (paralytic poliomyelitis).

In patients with polio, due to damage to the motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord, the muscles related to it lose the regulatory effect of nerves and atrophy, while the subcutaneous fat, tendons and bones also atrophy, making the whole body thinner.

Cerebral palsy is also known as cerebral palsy. It refers to the central movement disorder caused by non-progressive brain injury or abnormal brain development caused by various causes before and after life to one month after life, and the lesions are often accumulated in the brain and limbs. It is a clinical syndrome of congenital movement disorder and postural abnormality.

Cerebral palsy symptoms:1Dyskinesia – poor self-motor control and inability to grasp things. Won't speak. Won't walk. Won't roll over. It doesn't start. Won't stand hard. Won't chew and swallow normally.

2.Postural disorders – various postural abnormalities and poor postural stability. The head still cannot be erect for 3 months. It is not easy to break the fist in the hand.; Legs are not easy to straighten.

3.Intellectual disability - normal intelligence about 1 4 mild to moderate mental retardation about 1 2 severe mental retardation about 1 4.

4.Language disorders – difficulty in language expression, slurred pronunciation or stuttering. In severe cases, they will not be able to speak.

5.Audiovisual and auditory disturbances – esotropia and difficulty discerning the rhythm of sounds are most common.

6.Failure to thrive – short stature.

7.Disordered tooth development – loose and easy to break.

8.Emotional Behavior Disorder – Stubbornness. Wayward. Irritability. Eccentric. Mood swings. Sometimes compulsions occur. Self-injury. Intrusive behavior.

Children with cerebral palsy can induce epilepsy. This is especially true in children with severe mental retardation.

Shaking hands, drooling, action possible.

The symptoms of cerebral palsy are diverse, and the damaged parts of the brain are different, and the symptoms are also different, and the following typical symptoms are common:

1. Motor development is backward, active motor is reduced, whether it is gross motor or fine motor development, the development is slower than that of children of the same age.

2. Abnormal muscle tone, most of which manifest as significantly increased muscle tone, and very few manifest as hypotonia.

3. Abnormal posture and various posture forms, often manifested as head back in supine position, lower limbs straightened, limbs gathered in supine position, buttocks higher than head or difficulty in raising head, etc.

4. Abnormal reflexes, children with cerebral palsy often show primitive reflexes, which are delayed and disappear, and protective reflexes are weakened or delayed with accompanying symptoms, such as intellectual disability, epilepsy, language dysfunction, visual impairment, hearing impairment, etc.

The early symptoms of cerebral palsy in children vary depending on the degree of brain damage, and are generally as follows:

1.Milder brain damage that may have no symptoms.

2.Mild symptoms may also occur, including nonspecific headaches, dizziness, and vertigo, and may also be accompanied by manifestations of increased intracranial pressure such as nausea and vomiting.

3.Alteration of consciousness. Mild cases may be characterized by forgetfulness, unresponsiveness, or emotional influences, including irritability, irritability, etc. In severe cases, mental and behavioral abnormalities may occur, including drowsiness, lethargy, coma and other impaired consciousness.

4.Seizures may occur in the acute phase.

5.Sleep disorders. These include difficulty falling asleep, waking up, dreaming, or not being able to fall into deep sleep, mainly short light sleep.

The manifestations of cerebral palsy in children mainly include language disorders, behavioral disorders, developmental delay, and mental retardation, because each child's physical condition is different, so the symptoms of cerebral palsy are also different, and it is necessary to judge according to the child's physical condition and limb movements, and further diagnose whether the child has cerebral palsy.

1. Movement disorders: The motor ability of children with cerebral palsy is lower than that of normal children of the same age, the motor self-control ability is poor, the degree of impairment is only the hands, the foot movements are slightly inflexible or clumsy, and the serious ones will not grasp things with both hands, and the feet will not walk, and some will not even turn over, will not sit up, will not stand, and will not chew and swallow normally.

2. Posture disorders: children with cerebral palsy have abnormal postures, poor posture stability, awkward posture during exercise or at rest, asymmetry on the left and right sides, and some serious cases often cannot be in an upright and neutral position like normal children, but are accustomed to biasing to one side, or swaying back and forth.

3. Intellectual disability: Among all children with cerebral palsy, about 1 4 children with normal intelligence, about 1 2 with mild or moderate mental deficiency, and about 1 4 with severe mental deficiency.

4. Language disorder: Most children with cerebral palsy may be accompanied by different degrees of language impairment, some of which are manifested as difficulty in language expression or language formation, some are manifested as slurred pronunciation or stuttering, and some are also manifested as aphasia, that is, they can understand other people's language, but they cannot speak themselves, especially the proportion of cerebral palsy with aphtosis in the hands.

5. Visual and auditory impairment: Many children with cerebral palsy are accompanied by myopia or strabismus, among which esotropia is more common, and hearing loss is more common with aphtotic cerebral palsy. Children with cerebral palsy often have difficulty discerning the rhythm of sounds.

6. Growth and development disorders: Some children with mild cerebral palsy can have basic or close to normal growth and development, but most children with cerebral palsy are shorter than normal children of the same age, and their growth and development are backward.

Cerebral palsy ** base of Nanjing Banshan Hospital of the Naval Command College informs you:

What are the manifestations of language impairment in children with cerebral palsy? According to experts from the Department of Cerebral Palsy of the Banshan Hospital of Nanjing Naval Command College, cerebral palsy, also known as pediatric cerebral palsy, is a common central nervous system disorder syndrome in childhood, with lesions in the brain, involving the limbs, and often accompanied by mental retardation, epilepsy, abnormal behavior, mental disorders and visual, auditory, and language disorders.

What are the symptoms of language impairment in children with cerebral palsy?

1. Dysphonia: In children with cerebral palsy, there are many symptoms of not being able to control breathing at will, especially in children with severe spasm and mixed type, who often have breathing disorders. In addition, some children do not control their breathing, and they will have difficulty vocalizing due to the changing position of their heads.

2. Resonance and dysarthria: children with cerebral palsy are paralyzed, and their respiratory muscles, vocalization, and arthritis muscles will also be impaired, showing a variety of dysarthria, and speech patterns. The cause of dysarthria in children with cerebral palsy is not only spasms of the palate, lips and soft palate, but also poor coordination of movements due to damage to the central nervous system.

In addition, physical movement disorders also cause dysarthria.

3. Language delay: Language delay is more common in children with cerebral palsy, which is related to the fact that most children with cerebral palsy live in a neglected environment, coupled with mental retardation.

4. Oral control disorder: In addition to speech disorders, children with cerebral palsy have oral and facial dysfunction, as well as masticatory disorders, swallowing disorders, poor oral closure ability, and frequent drooling.
