Abstract

The information on dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) - including the fundamental epidemiological features, clinical presentations, radiological patterns of injury, the magnitude of motor disability, neurological outcomes, and the impact of chronic disability on the quality of life of the individual, family and the society, is derived from registries and studies from high-income countries. Despite a presumed higher burden of CP, there is a paucity of studies from low-resource settings, especially on DCP. The high-income countries have robust epidemiological and clinical data, facilities for early rehabilitation and reintegration into society, the predominance of genetic causes, and established preventive therapies. On the contrary, there is a greater burden of cases in low-resource settings, with limited rehabilitation options, late detection, the dominance of acquired and preventable causes, and limited management options in the chronic care of these patients. The dearth of resources is also reflected in the generation of research data using standardized scales of assessment and uniformity of definitions. The current brief review on the topic focuses on the perspectives from low-resource settings in the diagnosis and management of children with DCP. The paper is a summary of the presentation in the symposium on ‘Perspectives from Low Resource Settings’ at the ‘International Child Neurology Congress 2022, in Antalya, Turkey in October 2022. The main objective of the symposium and subsequent papers is to help the readers identify challenges related to specific pediatric neurological disorders in resource-limited settings.
