Abstract
|
|
|
|
To the best of our knowledge, the upper age limit at which post-neonatal cerebral palsy (CP) can manifest remains uncertain. This uncertainty is attributed to the lack of objective parameters for assessing the developing brain. In a previous study, we reported that an ipsilateral corticospinal projection associated with brain injury, as manifested in the paretic hand of a CP patient, had never been observed in individuals aged > 2 years. In this case report, we present an instance of ipsilateral motor evoked potential (iMEP) in a girl whose traumatic brain injury occurred at the age of 4 years. This case is the oldest in which brain injury occurred and iMEP was maintained. In conclusion, iMEP can be a valuable indicator of motor system plasticity in the developing brain.
