Diagnosis

Cerebral palsy is a permanent condition that affects movement, posture, coordination and balance. It is caused by damaged or abnormalities in the areas of the brain which control the movement of muscles. It typically manifests before, during or shortly after birth.

Doctors can determine if a child is suffering of cerebral palsy by looking at a child's symptoms, medical history and physical exam, monitoring milestones and growth, and review the results of diagnostic tests. They can refer an infant, toddler or child to specialists like pediatric orthopedists, neurologists and physiatrists. Skin, urine, and blood tests can also be ordered.

Babies born with CP typically have delays in developmental milestones. They also have stiff muscles and overexaggerated reflexes that are not present in normal infants. Low Apgar scores may also indicate oxygen deprivation. It can be difficult to diagnose the condition in infants who are still developing. A definitive diagnosis is usually made by the age of two. The the earlier a child's condition is diagnosed, the better treatment will be. Many families find it helpful to find support groups and other organizations for their children.

Symptoms

The symptoms of cerebral palsy manifest during early childhood and result from damage to the brain part that controls movement and posture. This damage cannot be reversed, and it affects the body's movements and muscle coordination.

Children suffering from dyskinetic cerebral paralysis have uncontrolled, jerky movements in their feet, hands and arms. They may also have difficulties reaching for objects, picking them up and coloring with crayons. They may be drooling or have trouble maintaining their balance.

The least commonly-used type of CP is ataxic, which causes slow and unorganized movements. Hypotonic patients CP are prone to muscle weakness, and their legs and arms move easily and are similar to those of an toy doll.

Doctors typically detect CP within the first two years of a child's life, except for mild. In this case, they may make a diagnosis at age four or five. Women must be vaccinated against diseases like rubella and German Measles before pregnancy to reduce the risk of developing CP. Prenatal care is crucial for all pregnant mothers to prevent complications such as premature birth and an infant who is overweight.

Treatment

Cerebral paralysis can be caused by anything that affects the development of the brain, from maternal infections during pregnancy, to complications during labor and delivery to head injuries. Cerebral palsy is more common when babies are born before 32 weeks or having the baby's weight being low at birth. Maternal febrile illness during pregnancy, rubella (German measles), cytomegalovirus, or herpes infections may trigger inflammation that damages the developing nervous system.

The treatment plan for every person suffering from CP differs. A pediatric specialist rehabilitation, physical medicine doctor or neurologist should oversee the medical treatment and develop the treatment plan that addresses specific symptoms and needs.

To improve the function or ease discomfort, medications to ease the tightness of muscles can be prescribed. Surgery can be used to lengthen muscles that are stiff and contracted or to correct spinal problems like an abnormally curve in the back, which is common in cases of CP.

Speech therapists help children learn to speak or communicate and teach parents how to enhance their child's communication. Therapy for recreation lets children participate in activities that stimulate social interaction, self-esteem and motor development.

Support

Getting the right support can make all the difference. Parents and children with cerebral palsy will find a community of families who can relate to their experiences at an event in the local area or an online group. Many groups have fundraising events to raise money and raise awareness about the condition.

Teachers can assist children with cerebral palsy in the classroom. They can plan ahead of time when students will be absent because of doctor visits or to take medication. They can also provide arrangements in the classroom, like allowing students to travel between classes, complete exams or for doctor visits.

Adults with CP may seek help from an occupational therapist on independence, including housing or finding work and claiming benefits. They can also talk with their doctor to determine if their medications are working and if something could be causing their symptoms to get worse.

Legal Questions

The legal process involves gathering more evidence that the medical professionals and facilities responsible for the birth injury suffered by your child committed mistakes that resulted in cerebral palsy and brain damage.

A legal claim seeks compensation for the damages your family has endured and expected future costs. It's also about creating changes and other guidelines to prevent similar injuries from happening to other children in the future.

Parents are concerned that bringing a lawsuit for medical malpractice will make them appear greedy or look like they don't accept the child they have. The cost of caring for a CP patient could be in the millions.

It is crucial to speak an attorney for medical malpractice as soon as you can. The sooner you file your claim, the more favorable. Every state has its own statute of limitations. A lawyer can explain the laws in your specific area, as well as what you need to do next.
