[Early differential diagnosis and restorative treatment of cerebral palsy]. / Rannyaya differentsial'naya diagnostika i vosstanovitel'noe lechenie patsientov s detskim tserebral'nym paralichom.

The article is devoted to an urgent problem of modern neurology - early diagnosis and complex restorative treatment of cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy). Etiological factors and pathogenetic aspects of the formation of various forms of cerebral palsy are considered in detail, as well as modern possibilities of differential diagnosis in children of the first years of life of cerebral palsy and a wide range of pathological conditions (somatic, endocrine, hereditary-conditioned, including hereditary-metabolic and neuromuscular diseases). The leading directions of complex rehabilitation of cerebral palsy are widely presented, taking into account modern standards and clinical recommendations. The high efficacy of the drug Cortexin has been shown, due to its positive multimodal action (stimulation of the processes of neuropreparation, neuroprotection, neuroplasticity) in the treatment of motor, cognitive and autonomic disorders in children with perinatal lesions of the central nervous system and cerebral palsy.

The article details modern approaches to the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of cognitive dysfunctions in children with cerebral palsy. It is shown that cognitive disorders in cerebral palsy are diverse and are represented by disorders of perception, memory, attention, visual-motor coordination, intelligence and speech. Diagnosis of cognitive dysfunctions in patients with cerebral palsy is a difficult task, due to their diverse combination with motor, speech and sensory pathology, which requires an integrated approach. The article highlights in detail the modern directions of complex rehabilitation (including medical, social, psychological and pedagogical correction) of cognitive dysfunctions in children with cerebral palsy, in accordance with modern clinical recommendations and treatment standards.

In the control group, no drug therapy was performed. Patient's state was assessed with a large battery of psychological tests and psychometric scales. The follow-up period was 30 days. All participants were examined three times (initially, in the middle of the study (day 15), in the end of the study (day 30)). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Asthenic state was detected in 69%, autonomic dysfunction in 82.7%, sleep disorders in 75.8% of subjects. A high level of state anxiety was revealed in 22.2%, trait anxiety in 29.8%, a high level of stress was determined in 6,9%. It is shown that the use of recognan (citicoline) has a positive effect on compensation of autonomic and asthenic disorders, improves cognitive status, corrects psycho-emotional disorders, when used as a short (2 week) and month course.
