Exploration for pathogenic factors and diagnosis of cerebral palsy in children / 临床儿科杂志

ABSTRACT

To explore the pathogenic factors and diagnosi s of cerebral palsy (CP) in children, perinatal history, clinical evaluation, im aging and electrophysiological data and parents' attitude for rehabilitation of CP were analyzed and investigated in 50 children with CP retrospectively. The re sults showed that prem ature birth, low birth weight and perinatal asphyxia were the most pathogenic fa ctors induced CP. The common CP types was spastic paralysis, in particular quadr iparesis. Abnormal CT and MRI findings were detected in 68% of CP children. It w as noticed that 44% of CP children were with speech and language disorder, 32% w i th mental retardation, 18% with hearing impairment, 16% with visual impairment a nd 16% with epilepsy. There were 86% parents to accept with physiotherapy on the ir CP children, 68% with acupuncture therapy, 46% with occupational therapy and 100% with speech therapy, respectively. It is suggested that multi-subjec t cooperation will be necessary for the follow-up study of the high- risk infants. The realization of the related-speciality knowledge a nd the enhancement of rehabilitational conception will be helpful for the early diagnosis and intervention of CP patients. The popularization of rehabilitationa l conception will be also important in the parents with CP children.
