Cerebral palsy programs at Tadawi Medical Center in Turkey

Cerebral palsy is a clinical condition that occurs as a result of damage to the areas responsible for movement in the central nervous system. This damage appears either before, during, or after birth. Problems vary depending on the type of damage. There may be excessive muscle contraction, insufficient relaxation, or even problems with speech and involuntary movements.

Causes of cerebral palsy:

  • During pregnancy: This is a result of chronic diseases that may be transmitted from the mother to the fetus, or due to some medications that the mother may take during pregnancy that affect the fetus.
  • During childbirth: This is in the event of a lack of oxygen reaching the brain, entanglement of the umbilical cord, or premature births.
  • After birth: The cause is often encephalitis, meningitis, brain hemorrhage, or neonatal jaundice.

The team includes pediatricians, neurologists, and physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists. In addition to occupational therapists, nutritionists and psychologists.

However, in children with cerebral palsy, this regulation may be a challenge. Therefore, the role of Tadawi Medical Center in Turkey comes as a fundamental pillar in providing sensory integration treatment as part of integrated rehabilitation programs.

Rehabilitation of hydrocephalus in children at Tadawi Medical Center in Turkey:

Hydrocephalus is a condition in which there is an excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which can lead to serious problems. CSF is a fluid that plays a vital role in protecting the brain and spinal cord. At Tadawi Medical Center, we provide the latest technologies and advanced equipment to provide the best hydrocephalus treatment and rehabilitation services, and to ensure the health and safety of children.

 

How do children get hydrocephalus?

  • Hydrocephalus in children is associated with increased intracranial pressure syndrome (KİBAS).
  • Hydrocephalus may be associated with various factors, such as: increased production of cerebrospinal fluid, or narrowing and congestion in the fluid’s path, causing it to accumulate.
  • At Tadawi Medical Center, we provide specialized medical teams for early detection of intracranial pressure problems.
  • The most common cause of this disease is a disturbance in the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid. If hydrocephalus develops early in life, before the cranial sutures close, it may lead to enlargement of the head. If it occurs after the stitches are closed, it may cause severe pressure inside the skull.
  • Thanks to the advanced technologies available at Tadawi Medical Center, we have the ability to diagnose and treat hydrocephalus in the best possible ways. Whether it is due to a congenital cause or bleeding inside the brain.
  • If you are concerned about your child’s health, do not hesitate to contact us at Tadawi Medical Center in Turkey, where we care about your child’s health as if he were our own family.
 

Symptoms of hydrocephalus in children:

Hydrocephalus is a health problem that may appear in children, and its symptoms are variable depending on age and person:

In the first months

Increased head growth, thinning of the scalp, visible veins in the head, vomiting, downward-turning eyes and tics.

In later ages

Nausea, vomiting, visual and sensory disturbances, and changes in vital signs such as brainstem involvement

Diagnosis of hydrocephalus in children at Tadawi Medical Center:

Treatment at Tadawi Medical Center:

Hydrocephalus in children cannot be treated with medications. It is preferable to use surgical methods to treat the underlying cause, so the cerebrospinal fluid must be transferred from the brain to another area in the body by placing a shunt (channel), and this operation is performed with a thin catheter.

Rehabilitation program at Tadawi Medical Center:

We offer a comprehensive rehabilitation program for children with hydrocephalus.

The program focuses on strengthening muscles, improving balance and coordination, as well as building on today's technology by increasing balance with robotic rehabilitation.
