Patient's question:
Description of the condition (onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): What are the symptoms of high muscle tone in newborns? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Congenital cerebral palsy, walking with a sway, 6 years old, had one leg correction surgery. Now the knees are bent, can it still be done.Doctor's answer:
Hello, congenital cerebral palsy refers to a syndrome caused by non-progressive brain damage, primarily characterized by central motor disorders and abnormal posture. The best period for surgical treatment is between the ages of 3-6, but not all cerebral palsy patients are eligible for surgery. Approximately only 50% of cerebral palsy patients can undergo surgery. Among these, spastic, athetoid, and mixed types can benefit from surgical intervention. Additionally, for athetoid cerebral palsy patients, we performed a carotid perineural stripping surgery, which improved symptoms such as speech, drooling, and upper limb stiffness, achieving certain therapeutic effects. Children with poor cognitive function must be guided to have parents cooperate with training personnel in educational and training activities during their spare time. This approach can yield twice the result with half the effort.
