Abstract:
Objective To Analyze the clinical characteristics of cerebral palsy caused by human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection.Methods Fifty-one cases of CMV infection were studied by analyzeing related clinical symptoms of cerebral palsy,finding its characteristics,and analyzing its causes by comparing with control group of 50 patients with cerebral palsy caused by other etiologies.Results The clinical symptoms of cerebral palsy caused by CMV infection were similar to those of cerebral palsy caused by other etiologies,however,the clinical symptoms of cerebral palsy caused by other reasons were more severe; 37.25％ of cases with cerebral palsy caused by CMV infection showed damage to liver function.Developmental quotient determination of cerebral palsy caused by CMV infection was 90.20％ which was moderate to severe,whereas that of 52.6％ of cases with cerbral palsy caused by other causes were moderate to severe.There was a significant difference between the two groups with respect to their developmental quotient.The motor function in 88.23％ of patients with cerebral palsy caused by human CMV infection was class Ⅱ-Ⅲ,which was mainly in mild to moderate damage.Conclusions The motor function of cerebral palsy caused by CMV was mostly in the slight to moderat damage,however the mental development obviously was mostly in moderate to severe defects,which showed that the mental damage was much greater than the motor function damage.In patients with cerebral palsy caused by other causes,the degree of motor function damage was higher than the degree of intelligence damage.Besides,the children with cerebral palsy caused by CMV infection were easy to suffer multiple organ injury such as liver damage.
