Patient's question:
What does it mean when bilateral radial nerve, peroneal nerve F waves and tibial nerve SNAPs are not elicited? What are some good treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of cerebral palsy is primarily based on clinical findings, including delayed motor development, abnormal muscle tone, and abnormal posture, combined with auxiliary tests to rule out genetic metabolic diseases. The F waves of the radial and peroneal nerves on both sides, as well as the SNAP of the sural nerve, were not elicited. This could be due to the child being too young to be affected, or if the child has low muscle tone and absent tendon reflexes, it is necessary to rule out infantile spinal muscular atrophy. Perform an SMA gene test.
