Definition of Mental retardation
Retardation in development of cognitive abilities,
adaptive behaviour,
and communication skills.
Causes of Mental retardation
- Chromosome disorder
- genetic syndrome
- development brain abnormally
- inborn error of metabolism
- congenital infection
- asphyxia, meningitis, PEM
- unknown
Clinical picture of Mental retardation
- Newborn
- major organ dysfunction - Early infancy (2-6 month)
- failure interaction w enviroment
- vision, hearing impair - Later infancy (6-18 month)
- gross motor delay - Toodlers (2-3 years)
- language delay - Preschool (3-5 years)
- languange delay
- behavior delay
- delay motor skill - School age (more 5 years)
- academic underachievement
Complication of Mental retardation
- increase hearing, vision defact
- orthopedic disability
- behavior, emotional disorder
- seizure disorder
- fragile x syndrome
- down syndrome
Causes and clinical picture of Febrile Convulsion
- Causes
- extra cranial infection
- viral infection - CP
a) patient
- 6month-6years
- male than female
- strong family history
b) type of seizure
- Preictal: onset on temperature more 39*c
- ictal: generalize tonic clonic
- short duration (5-15min)
- convulsion fit during same illness
- short postictal stupor
Definition of atypical febrile seizure
Seizure persisting more than 15 minute, same illness,
focal seizure
Investigation of Febrile Convulsion
- CSF
- lumbar puncture
- EEG
- neuro imaging
Factor effect later epilepsy
- initial febrile seizure before 12 month
- +ve family history
- delay development
Treatment of Febrile Seizure
- Immediate 1st aid measure
- posture
- suction
- mouth piece
- oxygen - Cold the temperature
- cold formentation
- antipyretic - Ttt cause of fever: Ab
- Anticonvulsion
- Diazepam 0.3mg/kg/dose IV
Definition of Cerebral Palsy
Purely central motor disorder, non progressive, non familial, non fatal, non curable
Causes of Cerebral Palsy
- Prenatal
- fetal hypoxia
- TORCH infection
- drug
- maternal disease, HTN - Natal
- birth asphyxia
- birth trauma
- prematurity - Postnatal
- hypoxia
- infection
- cerebro vascular accident
Clinical picture of Cerebral Palsy
- spastic diplegia
- spastic quadriplegia (most serious)
- hemiplegia: hemiplegia + seizure
- extrapyrimidal: hypotonia + poor head central
- atonic cp:
>severe hypotonia
>deep reflex exaggerated - ataxia cp:
>hypotonia
>hyporeflexia
>uncoordinate movement - mixed
Early warning sign of cerebral palsy
- below 6 month
- head lag
- severe cry
- difficult swallow
- leg shift and cross
- seizure
- delay development
Investigation of Cerebral Palsy
- MRI
- Hearing and visual test
- genetic evaluation
- TORCH screen
- EEG
Treatment of cerebral palsy
- team of physician must contribute
- parent taught how to work with their child
- drug treat spasticity
>benzodiazepam
>baslofen
>botulism toxin - physiotherapy
