Early physiotherapy in the treatment of spastic diplegia.
This study reports the effect of early physiotherapy, using Vojta's method, on children with spastic diplegia. Eight children with spastic diplegia (in spite of early treatment which was started before nine months of age) were compared with 21 children with spastic diplegia in which treatment was started between nine months and three years of age. The average age of starting to walk was eight months earlier in the group treated early, although they had more severe complications. They tended to walk steadily with a gait pattern which was quite different from the classical pattern. All of the early treated patients had confirmed organic brain damage with abnormal CT scan or microcephaly. In conclusion, Vojta's method of treatment is one system which improves the prognosis for walking if performed early.

Nontraumatic spinal intramedullary hemorrhage in an infant.
After an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery, this female child suddenly became quadriplegic on the fifth day of life. She gradually regained movement in her upper extremities. At 2 months of age, she exhibited paraplegia with exaggerated deep tendon reflexes in the lower extremities. Babinski reflex was present bilaterally and sensory disturbances below the trunk were suspected. Somatosensory evoked potentials after median and ulnar nerve stimulation revealed preserved conduction from the upper extremities through the cervical spinal cord to the cortex. Somatosensory evoked potentials after posterior tibial nerve stimulation suggested disturbed conduction in the upper thoracic spinal cord. Magnetic resonance imaging disclosed a hypodense area in the thoracic cord between T1 and T4 on both the T1-weighted and gradient echo images consonant with an old hematoma cavity. Digital subtraction angiography failed to demonstrate any vascular malformation.
