problems, role of anesthetist with cerebral palsy in pediatrics and the
proper perioperative anaesthetic management of such cases
Clinical picture of CP may vary considerably, from mild
monoplegia with normal mentality to severe spastic quadriplegia with
mental retardation.
The diagnosis of CP is performed by clinical picture and
investigations. Investigations include CT scan, MRI and cranial
ultrasound to identify any lesions or abnormalities in the child’s brain,
EEG if the child has seizures, and laboratory tests.
Treatment for CP includes, pain relief and other therapies. Pain
relief is performed by medications, physical therapy (e.g. Pulsed
radiofrequency), electrotherapy (TENS), acupuncture and surgical

medications to treat pain in children and adults with Cp include
anticonvulsants, anticholinergics, anti-spastics, intramuscular
