2 months ago @peupeubangbang, thank you for your request.
Could you please review the following updated definition, and let me know whether you agree with it?
"ataxic diplegic cerebral palsy": a mixed cerebral palsy that is characterized by pathogenetic and clinical presentations of both ataxic cerebral palsy and spastic diplegia. In ataxic diplegic children, all extremities are neurologically affected. There is more voluntary control in the upper extremities, spasticity and stiffness in the lower extremities that affect children’s ability to roll, sit, stand, and ambulate; as well as signs and symptoms of loss of balance and coordination.
To your knowledge, are there other types of "mixed cerebral palsy"?
Thank you!
Note to self: From PMID:10854109 These children all have ataxic cerebral palsy, but interestingly one of the four children also has lower limb spasticity and is classified as having ataxic diplegic cerebral palsy. (...) We have identified a family that segregates both ataxic CP and ataxic diplegia and have mapped the genetic locus responsible in this family to chromosome 9p12–q12. The identification of gene(s) involved in the aetiology of CP will offer the possibility of prenatal/premarital testing to some families with children affected with the disorder and will greatly increase our understanding of the development of the control of motor function.
From PMID:35642697 One in four children with ataxic CP is classified as having ataxic diplegic CP[2]. Ataxic diplegia has pathogenetic and clinical presentations, such as spastic diplegia, rather than simple ataxia. In ataxic diplegic children, all extremities are neurologically affected. There is more voluntary control in the upper extremities, spasticity and stiffness in the lower extremities that affect children’s ability to roll, sit, stand, and ambulate; as well as signs and symptoms of loss of balance and coordination[1].
