  2. Introduction spastic Diplegia cerebral palsy is a form of spastic cerebral palsy that primarily affects both lower limbs. In some children, the upper limbs may also be mildly involved. The condition is characterised by tight, stiff, and spastic muscles, which restrict normal movement and posture. Diplegic spastic cerebral palsy occurs due to damage or injury to the developing brain, often affecting motor control and coordination.

Causes • Brain injury occurring before, during, or shortly after birth • Premature birth and very low birth weight increase risk Common causes include: • Birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen) • Infections (mother to child) • Encephalitis • Trauma • Drug intoxication • Genetic factors • Brain injuries such as hematoma during complicated delivery • In some cases, CP may occur due to medical negligence during delivery

  4. Symptoms • Increased muscle tightness (hypertonia) • Affects both upper and lower limbs Common symptoms include: • Poor balance control • Joint deformities • Tight and shortened muscles • Preference for sitting in a “W” position • Difficulty in speech and mobility • Poor neck and trunk control • Delayed physical development • Abnormal eye movements • Functional issues in upper limbs

  5. Diagnosis If symptoms are observed, consult a cerebral palsy specialist Diagnostic tests may include: • EEG • CT scan • MRI scan

  6. Management and Treatment There is no permanent cure, but effective management is possible Treatment depends on: • Severity of spasticity • Level of disability • Presence of deformities or contractures • Functional abilities • Age of the child
