Abstract:
Cerebral palsy is non-progressive motor disability syndrome largely attributed to abnormal development or damage in one or more parts of the brain especially the cerebellum and frontal lobe of the cerebrum that control muscle tone and motor activity and causing variable mental, motor and behavioral dilemmas. The study aims to review the information on the varied causes, types and clinical manifestation, diagnostic examination and management in cerebral palsy children. Prominent clinical presentation in this study was delayed developmental milestones such as delayed and coordinated movement of limbs, speaking delay and ptosis. Causes were noted to be pronounced in children born with low weight, preterm babies, trauma, delay among other complications during labor.
