Male/ 16 months
Diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy with Mental Retardation and Epilepsy

Y. G., a 16 month old child was brought to us for the treatment of mental retardation. He was more or less like a vegetable and bed-ridden. He had no orientation, nor any capacity to understand; there was no co-ordination. He had been referred to a physiotherapist who was fed up with his non-cooperative attitude. If you asked him to do something, he cried a lot and did not take any action. This had been a great stress to all the family members. Also if you showed him something important, he wouldn't even move his head; even at this age, there was no head holding. The patient was on tablet Gardenal.

Birth History:
The child was born prematurely in the 8th month
Birth weight- 2.4 kg
He had very traumatic initial weeks after birth. On the third day, he developed severe diarrhea, after this he developed cough and cold which was followed by an episode of epileptic attack. After he gradually recovered from this, he developed pneumonitis which was also treated in the hospital. All his milestones were delayed.

During the case taking, there was no co-operation from the patient at all. He was more or less docile, non reactive, non-responsive. If you gave him some material in his hand, he would just hold it and do nothing with it. He could not hold his head, which was constantly shaking. He was making some mumbling noise which were meaningless.

The child could recognize family members but would take lot of time to perceive and understand new things. He would not go to strangers and would cry immediately. When things were not given to him, the child cried loudly. He made attempts to follow instructions but could not do so. He would keep playing with the hands. The mother said that he liked to watch television although he could not understand anything. There was a constant desire to keep lying down and do nothing.

Investigation reports:
An EEG was taken after giving sedative.
EEG report comments:
An abnormal drug induced sleep EEG suggestive of generalized epileptogenic activity.

He was prescribed Calc carb 200. The patient followed up after 4 weeks. The patient's general health had improved, his appetite was better and he had put on 1 kg weight. A month later, his neck holding was better, voice showed improvement and he responded better to external stimuli.

Over the next few months, he showed remarkable improvement. He could hold his head, then could sit without support and subsequently stood without support and started walking; he could even carry 2 kg weight. His coordination, communication and understanding kept on improving. He started speaking few words. Thus, the child who was just like a vegetable had started improving and the treatment was continued further on similar lines to see additional benefits.

In the words of the patient's mother:
My son has changed positively after starting treatment with Speciality Clinic and is responding better to the Physical therapy now. I am very thankful to Dr. Jawahar Shah for this.

7 year old male child was brought to the clinic by his parents for complaints of irritability. He was a known case of Cerebral palsy with cortical blindness. The child would always be irritated and restless and would not be comfortable in any position. The only thing that made him comfortable was music that was familiar to him.

Whenever his favourite television programme would be telecast, he used to move his neck and his legs. When in a happy mood he would be on his own and would make noises, shout and laugh. He would also sing in his own way and would like to be appreciated. The child would feel nice when other children would come home to play with him and preferred to be in big, open spaces.

Besides the above symptoms he was very sensitive to noise, especially any sudden noise like the pressure-cooker whistle; he would get scared of it. When angry, he would express his displeasure and if not attended at such times, then he would bite the person.

The patient was very attached to his father and would listen only to him.

During the pregnancy, his mother had hypertension from the second month onwards. She was very unhappy, sad and lonely and had not accepted the pregnancy.

The child was fond of pickles, ice-cream and crispy salty things. He was sensitive to heat in general. He would not feel much thirst. During urination, he would pause after he had voided a part of it. There was lot of drooling of saliva during sleep. He had 2 patches of hair loss on the scalp.
