PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Cerebral palsy is a diagnosis that has had a constantly evolving definition since it was first mentioned in the medical literature as “cerebral paralysis” by Dr. William Little in 1843. Currently, the most widely accepted definition, from a 2004 international workshop in Bethesda, Maryland, is that cerebral palsy “describes a group of permanent disorders of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, behavior, by epilepsy and by secondary musculoskeletal problems.” SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1182922794 ER -
