Children hemiplegia symptoms?

summary

Children's hemiplegia is one of the most harmful diseases to the health of infants. Generally speaking, parents need to take measures to treat their children as soon as possible after they find that their children have symptoms of hemiplegia. So, what are the symptoms of pediatric hemiplegia?

Children hemiplegia symptoms?

Spastic hemiplegia is the most common, involving one side of the limb, most of the upper limb is more serious than the lower limb, the distal is heavier than the proximal, and the face is often not affected. Most of the children had obvious symptoms after 3 months, such as less movement of affected limbs, persistent clenching, no disappearance of grip reflex, flexion and pronation of forearm, and circled gait. In some patients, the affected limbs may show hypotonia at first, and then turn to spasticity. This type is often accompanied by mental retardation and epilepsy. Epilepsy occurs as a partial or secondary systemic seizure. Strabismus is common.

Spastic diplegia is characterized by increased muscular tension of both lower limbs. This type is more common in premature infants. Children often show hypotonia of lower limbs in 1-3 months. This is followed by the so-called muscular dystonia stage. When the child is in the standing position and the sole of the foot touches the table surface, it will induce the ankylosing extension of the lower limbs and cross into a scissors shape. Finally, the spasticity period, hip and knee flexion, lower limb rotation, scissors gait, serious can not walk independently. Upper limb involvement is mild, often manifested as walking upper limb posture abnormalities, but the hand function is not significantly affected. This type of epilepsy is less, accounting for about 1 / 5. About 2 / 3 of the patients had normal or critical intelligence. Strabismus is common.

Spastic quadriplegia is more common in children with severe asphyxia. The muscle tension of the limbs was increased, and the angle arch was often reversed. It may be accompanied by supranuclear bulbar paralysis, manifested as dysphagia and dysarthria. About half of the children had epilepsy and mental retardation.

matters needing attention

Cerebral vasculitis caused by various infections can make artery lumen narrow, thrombosis, occlusion, cause local cerebral blood flow reduction, cerebral tissue blood perfusion insufficiency, resulting in degeneration and necrosis of nerve cells. Virus or bacteria may directly invade cerebral vessels and cause cerebral vasculitis; It may also cause immune cerebral vasculitis or demyelinating lesions around cerebral vessels due to immune reaction after infection or vaccination.
