| Popis: | Cerebral palsy is a clinical diagnosis of a nonprogressive developmental disorder of motor impairment. The scope of the diagnosis of cerebral palsy has been broadening significantly in recent years to include patients with genetic disorders. This article helps clinicians to determine which patients would benefit from a thorough genetic/metabolic evaluation and helps to delineate an approach for the work-up, with an emphasis on newer technologies and the evolving fields of fetal medicine and genetics. It provides guidance to providers to assist in clarifying an cause for some patient's symptoms. |
