Parálisis Cerebral en Pediatría: Problemas Asociados. Cerebral Palsy In Pediatrics: Associated Problems

Introduction: Cerebral palsy is the most frequent cause of childhood disability. Children with CP will associate, in addition to neurological problems, other non-neurological disorders that will be more frequent with a greater degree of CP involvement.

Objective: To address the clinical manifestations of children with cerebral palsy and their diagnostic and therapeutic management in order to provide a comprehensive approach to these patients in a single document.

Development: A review is made of the clinical manifestations of the child with cerebral palsy including neurological disorders, orthopedic problems, digestive disorders, respiratory problems, bone health, visual and hearing problems, urological and sexual disorders, oral health, hypersalivation, sleep disorder and pain.

Conclusions: The approach to the patient with CP has changed in recent years. Care provided by an specialized multidisciplinary team is essential. However, from our experience, the role of a pediatrician who knows all the associated problems seems essential to coordinate all the follow-up.

La Musicoterapia Neurológica Como Modelo de Neurorrehabilitación. Neurologic Music Therapy As A Neurorehabilitation Model.

Neurologic music therapy (NMT) is being implemented in hospitals and neurorehabilitation facilities around the world, thanks to the abundant neuroscience research and to the growing interest in the effects of music on the brain.
