Little S Disease is a type of spastic bilateral cerebral palsy (rare in children) that affects the legs more than the arms.
This disease is characterized by impaired muscle tone and pathological reflexes. With Little's disease, spasticity of the leg muscles is observed, which leads to stiffness and limited mobility. The hands may also be affected, but to a lesser extent.
The causes of Little's disease are not entirely clear. It is believed to be associated with damage to the brain and spinal cord in utero or early childhood. Risk factors include infections and injuries to the mother during pregnancy, as well as asphyxia and injuries to the child during childbirth and early childhood.
Diagnosis of Little's disease is based on analysis of symptoms and MRI findings. Treatment is mainly symptomatic and includes physiotherapy, massage, orthotics, and drug therapy. Full recovery cannot be achieved, but adequate rehabilitation can significantly improve the quality of life of patients.
Little's disease (also known as spastic diplegia) is one of the most common forms of cerebral palsy in children. It is characterized by muscle weakness and instability, especially in the legs, which can lead to difficulty walking and other functional problems.
The disease occurs
Litt's disease is a congenital cerebral palsy that is more common in girls. Its nature is not fully understood.
Based on the results of research by neurologists, it becomes clear that the disease largely depends on the atypical location of the cerebral cortex. She's underdeveloped
