Guillain Barré syndrome (GBS) is a post-infectious acute autoimmune polyradiculopathy. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) total protein level and plasma neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are related with autoimmune response. We aimed to reach a prognostic indicator for GBS by using electrophysiological findings, protein level of CSF, and plasma NLR based on Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score data....

Genetic consultation was given to three children with microcephaly, mental retardation, and spastic diplegia.

A register of children with cerebral palsy born to mothers resident in the Mersey region from 1966 to 1977 was compiled from health service records. Frequency distributions and prevalences of birth weight and gestational age differed for those with hemiplegia, diplegia, and quadriplegia. In particular, the children with diplegia showed a bimodal frequency distribution. Children of normal birth ...

Cerebral palsy (CP) disebabkan oleh cedera pada otak yang sedang mengalami perkembangan dan ditandai dengan ciri fungsi motorik kasar abnormal. Olahraga teratur telah dilaporkan efektif dalam meningkatkan kinerja fungsional anak CP, namun baru sedikit melaporan tentang efek olahraga hydrotherapy terhadap peningkatan kecepatan berjalan CP tipe spastic diplegia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mem...

sjogren-larsson syndrome (sls) is an inherited autosomal recessive neurocutaneous disorder with congenital ichthyosis, spastic diplegia or quadriplegia and mental retardation. we report a case of sjogren-larsson syndrome with clinical profile (mental retardation, ichthyosis, spastic diplegia) and mri findings such as seen in multiple sclerosis (ms). so this rare syndrome can be another differen...

PURPOSE Spastic diplegia is the most common form of cerebral palsy. It presents with symmetric involvement of the lower limbs and upper limbs. Children with spastic diplegia frequently experience problems with motor control, spasticity, and balance which lead to gait abnormalities. The aim of this study is twofold. Firstly, to determine the differences in spatial-temporal gait parameters and ma...

Although amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and progressive spinal muscular atrophy have been recognized to occur in association with human immunodeficiency virus infection, to our knowledge, brachial amyotrophic diplegia, a form of segmental motor neuron disease, has not been previously reported. Brachial amyotrophic diplegia results in severe lower motor neuron weakness and atrophy of the upper ex...
