Opis: Cerebral Palsy Principles - Christos P. Panteliadis, Panteliadis

Cerebral palsy poses multiple diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. It is not only a medical and scientific issue, but also one with many social, ethical, and economic implications. With many contributions from top European specialists, this book begins with chapters on the history and terminology, classification, incidence and prevalence, etiology, and neuropathology of cerebral palsy. Then diagnosis is covered with extensive chapters on the clinical characteristics of CP, differential diagnosis, and assessing with ultrasound, MRI, and nuclear/molecular imaging. Finally, detailed chapters provide comprehensive information on the newest treatment modalities for CP, including treatment with botulinum toxin, dorsal rhizotomy, intrathecal pharmacotherapy, stereotactic operations, and more. The book closes with chapters considering the psychological and psychosocial aspects of the condition. With its strong interdisciplinary foundation, this book is certain to be a valuable addition to the library of pediatricians, neurologists, and others who may be involved in the care of patients with cerebral palsy.Prologue Introduction History and terminology Classification Incidence and prevalence Aetiology Neuropathology of cerebral palsy Clinical characteristics Differential diagnosis of cerebral palsy Posttraumatic brain damage Brain imaging: ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging Nuclear (molecular) imaging in CP Additional clinical problems in children with Cerebral Palsy Epilepsy in cerebral palsy Therapeutic concepts Alternative treatment methods Opportunities and limitations in prescribing seating systems - a physiotherapist's perspective Treatment with Botulinum Toxin Selective dorsal rhizotomy for the treatment of spasticity Oral and intrathecal pharmacotherapy of spasticity Long-term prognosis Orthopaedic management of cerebral palsy Scoliosis in infantile cerebral palsy Modern stereotactic operations for treatment of cerebral palsy Psychological diagnosis Psychosocial aspects Index
