Paresis and paralysis in children
Paresis and paralysis are diseases of the nervous system. In cases of paralysis or paresis, there is a decrease in tone in muscle groups (limbs, face, pharynx, etc.) until complete disappearance. Paralysis can occur due to the death or damage of a motor neuron (central or peripheral) or its processes. Central motor neurons are located in the brain, in the cerebral cortex, and peripheral neurons are located in the spinal cord, as well as in the nuclei of cranial nerves.
Pediatricians, when observing children suffering from this disease, more often indicate a violation of motor function, primarily of the extremities, the muscles of the eyeball, facial muscles, respiratory muscles and diaphragm are less likely to suffer. Intestinal paresis, bladder paresis and other organs are also found.
Paresis can be acquired and, more rarely, congenital. If a child has a congenital brain lesion, then usually the baby does not have paresis at first, but they occur by 6-7 months or by a year, which is due to some features of the functioning and structure of the brain in infants. Children often have so-called obstetric paralysis, which occurs when they stretch excessively during childbirth or when the midwife's fingers press on the baby's neck, resulting in compression of the plexus on the shoulder between the collarbone and rib. In this regard, paresis of one of the arms damaged during childbirth is more common.
The affected arm is turned inwards, it is bent at all joints and hangs along the trunk all the time. With this hand, the child cannot make even the most minor movements, or the movements are very limited.
Paralysis of one limb or part of it is typical for children with neuritis or polio. If a child has a chronic disease of the nervous system, then paresis appears gradually: from awkwardness in movements to complete paralysis. Acquired paresis occurs in the presence of various diseases of the nervous system: central or peripheral. This may be the result of strokes, neoplasms, encephalitis, etc
. Obstetric paresis is treated with position, and such treatment is carried out from the very first days when the child is laid in a special way. Physiotherapy is also carried out, and from 1-2 months the child is given a massage, fingers are developed. If there is an underlying disease of the nervous system, then its treatment quickly gives positive results in relation to paresis. Plus, pediatricians offer a range of therapeutic measures: massage, passive styling of the affected limbs, skin stimulation, physical education, radon baths, hydrogen sulfide baths, acupuncture and other procedures. Medications that improve blood supply, B vitamins, and sometimes muscle transfer blockers are prescribed if the muscle tone is too high.
