Question
What is meant by A]double hemiplegia B]CROSSED hemiplegia C]Pseudobulbar palsy?
Answer
Crossed hemiplegia is a condition when the facial nerve palsy is on the opposite side as compared to the hemiplegia. Double hemiplegia is like quadriplegia but the arms are more affected then the legs. Pseudobulbar palsy is a syndrome characterized by DYSARTHRIA, dysphagia, dysphonia, impairment of voluntary movements of tongue and facial muscles, and emotional liability. This condition is caused by diseases that affect the motor fibers that travel from the cerebral cortex to the lower BRAIN STEM (i.e., corticobulbar tracts); including MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS; MOTOR NEURON DISEASE; and CEREBROVASCULAR DISORDERS.
