Abstract:

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a complex of specific motor disorders that occur as a result of damage to the central nervous system of a child during intrauterine development, during childbirth, or in the first 1-2 years of life. The pathology is manifested by impaired motor functions of varying severity, from mild difficulties to complete immobility. As a rule, a child with cerebral palsy also has speech and / or mental disorders and various forms of mental retardation.

Treatment of pathology is carried out in specialized centers. Each patient requires an individual approach and a comprehensive solution to the problems that arise. Neurologists of the SM-Clinic for Children and Adolescents in Moscow examine children with suspected cerebral palsy. After the diagnosis is confirmed, the child is referred to a specialized hospital. In the future, with the already prescribed treatment, SM-Clinic specialists for children and adolescents can conduct dynamic monitoring of the small patient.
