Cerebral palsy in Cape Town: A review of 389 coloured children. 1980

C D Molteno, and L J Arens, and S R Marshall, and W I Robertson

Three hundred and eighty-nine Coloured cerebral palsied children were reviewed with regard to clinical type and its relationship to aetiological factors. There was no significant change in type or severity of case over two 6-year periods. Associated handicaps were also analysed, and the prevalence of these stresses the need for comprehensive assessment and treatment clinics so that multidisciplinary treatment can minimize the extent of the disabilities.

D002547 Cerebral Palsy A heterogeneous group of nonprogressive motor disorders caused by chronic brain injuries that originate in the prenatal period, perinatal period, or first few years of life. The four major subtypes are spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed cerebral palsy, with spastic forms being the most common. The motor disorder may range from difficulties with fine motor control to severe spasticity (see MUSCLE SPASTICITY) in all limbs. Spastic diplegia (Little disease) is the most common subtype, and is characterized by spasticity that is more prominent in the legs than in the arms. Pathologically, this condition may be associated with LEUKOMALACIA, PERIVENTRICULAR.
