最严重的脑瘫(CP)病例中有一半能活到成年，但由于这种长寿相对较新，没有经验表明他们过了中年的预期寿命。在过去的20年里，CP患者的管理取得了重大发展，涉及到越来越多的学科的专家服务，这些学科需要协调以最大限度地发挥其效力。本文提供了CP的概述。作者讨论了CP的定义、流行病学、病理学和可能的临床描述范围，并简要介绍了治疗和预防。
Half of the most severe cases of cerebral palsy (CP) survive to adulthood, but because this longevity is relatively recent, there is no empirical experience of their life expectancy past middle age. The last 2 decades have seen significant developments in the management of persons with CP, involving specialist services from an increasing number of disciplines that require coordination to maximize their effectiveness. This article provides an overview of CP. The author discusses definitions of CP, its epidemiology, pathologies, and range of possible clinical descriptions, and briefly touches on management and prevention.
