INFANTILE CEREBRO-CEREBELLAR DIPLEGIA, OF FLACCID, ATONIC-ASTASIC TYPE

INFANTILE CEREBRO-CEREBELLAR DIPLEGIA, OF FLACCID, ATONIC-ASTASIC TYPE INTRODUCTION It is my purpose to place on record, for the first time so far as I am aware, a comprehensive description of a type of cerebral palsy of childhood, which I presume to name "Infantile Cerebro-Cerebellar Diplegia." Various writers have commented on the condition under the designation of cerebellar or flaccid diplegia, and very recently Förster1 has written a paper on the condition under the head of flaccid diplegia and has given some very excellent case descriptions. Inasmuch as there has been no attempt as yet to couple this flaccid syndrome with a definite pathogeny or morbid pathologic anatomy, this paper in this latter respect may be of interest to those engaged in the study of cerebral palsy of children.
