Produktbeschreibung
Cerebral palsy is a heterogeneous condition associated with a non-progressive lesion causing permanent disorder of movement with limited mobility. It is generally associated with gross motor developmental delay. In moderate to severe cases of cerebral palsy, motor developmental milestones such as walking may never be achieved. Little is known about the pattern of cerebral palsy in Iraq. The aim of this book is to describe the pattern of cerebral palsy in a sample of Iraqi children observed by a single pediatrician in a tertiary pediatric referral center. Spastic cerebral palsy affecting all limbs (Spastic quadriplegia) accounted for about 67 % of all Iraqi children with cerebral palsy. Radiologic evidence of diffuse brain atrophy was present in more than 25% of the patients with cerebral palsy in this series. This book can also serve medical educators and medical practitioners as an atlas of cerebral palsy as it is rich in photographs.
