SPASTIC DIPLEGIA - CEREBRAL PALSY

Spastic diplegia is a type of spastic cerebral palsy in which a patient has difficulty moving or controlling both legs or both arms. Spastic diplegia is often called spastic paraplegia or Little's disease. The legs are often more affected than the upper extremities. Spastic means stiff or contracted. The word Diplegia breaks down into "di," meaning two, and "plegia," the Latin word for weakness. Therefore, spastic diplegia means stiff or contracted muscles affecting two extremities causing weakness.It is believed prematurity may be a factor in the large numbers of spastic diplegia CP patients. Spastic diplegia is almost always due to antepartum events, the latter occurring almost exclusively in preterm babies. Infants born very prematurely or with low birth weight are at higher risk for  Spastic Diplegia CP, compared to term or near-term infants. Among the very preterm and very low birth weight (VLBW) children, spastic diplegia is the most prevalent subtype of cerebral palsy. In medical studies, it has been concluded that infants born premature and with white matter damage caused by maternal infection during pregnancy,often  are diagnosed with spastic diplegia.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Question: What are the most common causes of cerebral palsy?

Answer: During the birth, many times the child’s ability to obtain needed oxygen is a chief cause of cerebral palsy.  It may result from premature separation of the placenta, too large of baby for the birth canal or pelvis, too long or too abrupt of labor, awkward and/or breech deliveries, cord entanglement,  excessive Pitocin, shoulder dystocia, failure to order timely cesarean (c-section), placenta abruptus, excessive force or use of vacuum or forceps, and ruptured uterus. In additional cerebral palsy may occur when there is presence of birth asphyxia, a vaginal birth after a caesarean delivery  (VBAC) with a ruptured uterus, neonatal depression, static encephalopathy, fetal bleeding, periventricular leukomalacia, fetal distress during labor, an abrupted placenta and/or  hypoxic ischemic  encephalopathy,

Question: What are the early signs that may indicate a birth injury or birth trauma may have occurred ?

Answer:  Early signs of cerebral palsy may include but limited to low apgar scores, child born with low ph or acidosis,  a child born with a bluish skin tone, seizure immediately after birth, cerebral edema, difficulty breathing on its own and a child born severely bruised at birth. These signs may show evidence of a forced delivery or excessive force or trauma on the infant during birth.
