Svensk definition
En heterogen grupp av icke fortskridande motoriska störningar orsakade av kronisk hjärnskada, som uppkommit under prenataltiden, perinatalperioden eller de allra första levnadsåren. De fyra viktigaste undertyperna är spastisk förlamning, atetos, ataktisk och blandad cerebral pares, bland vilka de spastiska formerna är vanligast förekommande. Störningarna kan variera mellan försämrad finmotorisk kontroll och svåra spasmer i samtliga lemmar. Spastisk diplegi (Littles sjukdom) är den vanligaste subtypen. Syn. hjärnförlamning.
Engelsk definition
A heterogeneous group of nonprogressive motor disorders caused by chronic brain injuries that originate in the prenatal period, perinatal period, or first few years of life. The four major subtypes are spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed cerebral palsy, with spastic forms being the most common. The motor disorder may range from difficulties with fine motor control to severe spasticity (see MUSCLE SPASTICITY) in all limbs. Spastic diplegia (Little disease) is the most common subtype, and is characterized by spasticity that is more prominent in the legs than in the arms. Pathologically, this condition may be associated with LEUKOMALACIA, PERIVENTRICULAR. (From Dev Med Child Neurol 1998 Aug;40(8):520-7)
