Patient's question:
My son is nine years old, a boy, and he suffers from infantile cerebral palsy, specifically torticollis. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: The symptoms of cerebral palsy, such as joint contractures and spinal deformities, are also gradually developed. It can be accompanied by epilepsy, intellectual disability, sensory disorders, behavioral disorders, etc. The manifestations of cerebral palsy can be divided into multiple types. 1. Spastic type children primarily exhibit stiffness in their limbs. 2. Athetoid type limbs and head exhibit involuntary, unconscious movements. During purposeful actions, the frequency of involuntary movements increases throughout the body, such as facial expressions like "squinting and frowning," difficulties in speaking and swallowing, and often accompanied by drooling.
