In modern medicine there is a general collective concept of "dystonia", for which chaotic contractions of the muscles are characteristic, as a result of which a pathological violation of the natural position of the body, legs or hands occurs. Very often diagnosis of muscular dystonia is put specifically to newborn children, because the question of the essence of this anomaly is quite acute, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. Net Thus, muscular dystonia in infants has a lot of circumstances, among which the most common is damage to the child's brain and birth trauma, as a result of circulatory disorders, cerebral hemorrhage, oxygen starvation during pregnancy and pathology during childbirth. We should not rule out the possibility that muscular dystonia may appear due to mutating hereditary diseases or after unauthorized administration of certain medications. But very often it happens that even the most experienced specialist can not reliably find the root cause, in which case the general prognosis "idiopathic muscular dystonia" is put, the healing of which, at first, is focused on the speedy reduction of symptomatic reactions.

Often there is a similar anomaly and therefore that in the baby's body there is a slowed down long contractions of the muscles, which in the forthcoming lead to deformation of the body, hands, face, cervix. Muscular dystonia in a baby progresses at a very early age, and its symptoms are pronounced after an increased stress on the spine, for example, at the end of the day, after running or during long-term walking. At the same time, it is necessary to emphasize a certain paradoxical in its own way regularity: thus, the premature manifestation of this disease drags along his long and heavy healing; And, on the contrary, the adult patient has a reduced form of the same pathology, which proceeds and is much more easily treated. Also, one should not forget the fact that "outbreaks" of the disease increase with psychological stress, and during sensual calm imperceptibly disappear.

In what all the same expressed muscular dystonia? At first, in unhealthy toddlers, little differences are visibly visible, namely, the stiffness or limitedness of their motor activity. In addition, with the course of this disease, the tone is also different: hypertonus - increased muscle tension and hypotension - relaxed muscle tension. It is also important to realize that the pathological process can affect both one muscle group and their complex, which speaks of the dysfunctionality of both one limb and the whole organism, for example.

Now doctors distinguish between spasmodic dysphonia (defeat of the vocal muscles), blepharospasm (eye muscle disease), writing spasm (hand muscle spasms) and torticollis (cervical muscle anomalies), and any of the listed species bears its own bad contribution to the child's physiological development.
