Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement and posture caused by a non-progressive brain insult during fetal or infant development. It has an incidence of 1 in 500 births and is a major cause of childhood disability. The majority of cases are caused by prenatal factors. While there is no cure, prevention through proper antenatal care and fetal monitoring is key. Cerebral palsy manifests through increased muscle tone, involuntary movements, poor coordination, and other motor impairments depending on the type and severity. Treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach focusing on stimulation, nutrition, therapy, and managing comorbidities like seizures.
Arnold Chiari Malformation And Dandy Walker Syndrome.pptxAhBj1
Arnold Chiari Malformation, also known as Chiari type II malformation, is one of a group of brain malformations affecting the cerebellum. Named after Hans Chiari and Julius Arnold, the pathologists who first described the group of malformations. This condition is almosNormally the cerebellum and parts of the brain stem sit in an indented space at the lower rear of the skull, above the foramen magnum (a funnel-like opening to the canal). When part of the cerebellum is located below the foramen magnum, it is called a Chiari malformation. In Arnold Chiari Malformation, both cerebellar and brain stem tissue protrude into the foramen magnum and the cerebellar vermis (the nerve tissue that connects the two halves of the cerebellum) may be only partially complete or absent
t always associated with myelomeningocele, the most serious form of spina bifida
Dandy-Walker Syndrome (DWS) is a congenital (happening before birth) condition where the cerebellum does not develop normally. The cerebellum is an area at the back of the brain that controls movement and balance.
With DWS, parts of the cerebellum may never develop or may be very small. Other parts of the cerebellum become filled with fluid or develop small masses of fluid (cysts). In most cases, a build-up of fluid inside the skull causes the head to get bigger than it should.

it is very difficult to manage cerebral palsy because we cant repair brain damage but we can give good quality of independent life by combination good rehabilitation tool which include advance therapeutic technique, botulinum toxin early age child and SEMLOSSS surgical concept in others. Our aim of management is to take these person to their highest capability and decrease their physical limitation as much as possible.

The term ‘cerebral palsy’ includes a group of disorders that result from permanent non-progressive brain damage during early development and are characterized by abnormalities of movement and posture.

What are the common causes of fall, and what to do when a fall occurs? How to make your home safer?

CP
Non-specific term that include disorders characterized by early onset and impaired movement and posture.
Non-progressive and may include perceptual problems, language deficits, and intellectual involvement.
Incidence
Most common physical disability of childhood.
Incidence has increased since the 60’s, maybe due to improved survival of VLBW infants.
Etiology
Variety of perinatal, prenatal, and postnatal factors contribute, either singly or multifactorily to CP.
Commonly thought to be due to birth asphyxia; now known to be due to existing prenatal brain abnormalities.
Premature delivery is the single most important determinant of CP.
In 24% of cases, no cause is found.

2. Introduction
• Major cause of disability in children
• Incidence 1 in 500 births
• 70-80% are due to prenatal factors
• No known cure, Prevention is the key.
4. Postnatal Brain Growth
• Brain growth continues postnatally well into
adolescence
• More than 90% Brain growth is complete by 2
years
• As age advances, myelination increases with
pruning of synapses
5. Definition
• Disorder of movement and posture
• Non-progressive insult
• growing brain
• Dynamic manifestations
20. Diagnosis
• Good history and physical examination
• Neuroimaging CT/MRI
• IU infection screen
• Metabolic & genetic testing
• Coagulation studies
• Screening for co-morbidity – vision, hearing,
seizures
21. Treatment
• Multi-disciplinary approach
• Early stimulation
• Monitoring growth, nutrition
• Vision and hearing assessment
• Control of seizures
• Reduce spasticity and contractures
• Promote self care
22. Prognosis
• No head control by age 1- unlikely to walk
• Not sitting by 4 yrs- 99% will not walk
• Sits unsupported by 2 yrs- 100% will walk
23. Prevention
• Proper antenatal care and fetal monitoring
• Hypothermia
• Magnesium sulphate
