Spastic unilateral cerebral palsy

Description

Spastic unilateral cerebral palsy is a form of cerebral palsy in which the spasticity is confined to one side; it is often accompanied by cortical sensory impairment and varying degrees of hemineglect, demonstrable by testing stereognosis and graphesthesia. Early hand preference is often the first sign of this disorder, and may be apparent in the first months of life.
