What exactly is infantile cerebral palsy?
Infantile cerebral palsy (also infantile paralysis and cerebral palsy, ICP, CP) describes a lifelong early childhood brain injury that can lead to disorders of posture, movement, coordination and balance. The ability to communicate, learn, eat and sleep can also be affected by this neurological disorder. The extent of the disorders depends on the location and size of the brain damage.
The term cerebral palsy is composed of the two words "cerebral" (Latin cerebrum = "brain") and "paresis" (Greek for "paralysis"). Synonymous with the term infantile cerebral palsy, the terms cerebral palsy, infantile cerebral palsy, spastic palsy, or cerebral palsy may also be used.
