Dyskinetic cerebral palsy - what does this mean
Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the brain before, during, or after birth. this damage affects the brain's ability to control movement and posture, resulting in uncontrolled, jerky movements, stiff muscles, and impaired coordination.
What happens during the disease - dyskinetic cerebral palsy
Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the brain during early development, usually before or shortly after birth. it is characterized by abnormal muscle tone, which results in involuntary movements and posturing of the limbs. the exact cause of this type of cerebral palsy is unknown, but it is believed to be the result of a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as a lack of oxygen to the brain during birth, certain infections, or exposure to toxins.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical exam to observe movement and muscle tone
- Neurological exam to assess reflexes, coordination, and balance
- Imaging tests such as MRI or CT scans to look for any brain abnormalities
- Genetic tests to look for any genetic abnormalities
- Blood tests to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms
- EEG to measure electrical activity in the brain
- Developmental tests to evaluate the child’s physical, cognitive, and social abilities

Dyskinetic cerebral palsy - Prevention
The best way to prevent dyskinetic cerebral palsy is to ensure that pregnant women receive adequate prenatal care, including regular check-ups and tests to detect any potential problems. it is also important to avoid any potential environmental risk factors, such as exposure to toxins, alcohol, or drugs, and to practice safe sex to avoid any sexually transmitted infections. additionally, it is important to take steps to reduce the risk of premature birth, as this is a known risk factor for the condition.
