24
Q

What are the red flags associated with motor development?

A

1) fisting beyond 3 months –> sign of neuromotor problems
2) early rolling over, pulling to a stand instead of sitting, toe walking –> spasticity
3) spontaneous postures like, scissoring –> spasticity
4) early hand dominance –> weakness of opposite –> hemiparesis

25

A

birth

26

32
Q

What is cerebral palsy?

A

a group of static encephalopaties caused by injury to the developing brain in which motor function is primarily affected.

33
Q

How is cerebral palsy diagnosed?

A

Repeated neurodevelopment examinations showing increasing tone or spasticity, hypotonia, asymmetric reflexes or movement disorder, abnormal patterns in disappearance of primitive reflexes or emergence of postural responses.

34
Q

What is spastic cerebral palsy and what are the 3 groups?

A

increased tone. 3 types

1) spastic diplegia –> lower extremities > than upper or face
2) spastic hemiplegia –> unilateral spastic motor weakness
3) spastic quadriplegia –> head, neck and all 4 limbs

35
Q

What type of cerebral palsy involves a history of early rolling over, increased tone and scissoring

A

spastic diplegia

36
Q

What type of cerebral palsy involves a history of early hand preference, attempts at grasping always on the same side and fisting or absent pincer on one side

A

spastic hemiplegia

37
Q

What type of cerebral palsy involves a history of seizures, scoliosis, speech problems and sensory impairments, weakness of face and pharyngeal muscles, dysphagia, reflux

A

spastic quadriplegia

38
Q

IQ 55-69

A

mild mental retardation

39
Q

IQ 40-54

A

moderate mental retardation

40
Q

IQ 25-39

A

Severe mental retardation

41
Q

IQ < 25

A

42
Q

How is colic defined?

A

crying that lasts >3 hours per day and occurs >3 days per week

43
Q

When does colic normally resolve?

A

3-4 months of age

44
Q

What is the management of colic ?

A

1) reassurance
2) comfort measures like decreased sensory stimulation, increased sensory stimulation by movement or vibration (car rides, stroller) , or positioning (swaddling)

45
Q

What is the leading cause of blindness in children?

A

trachoma infection

Others:

  • retinopathy of prematurity
  • congenital cataracts
