Diagnosis Cerebral Palsy can rarely be diagnosed with certainty during early
infancy, and specific syndromes often cannot be characterized until
age 2. Homeopathic concept The Syphilitic miasm is the main cause for the development of Cerebral Palsy. The miasmatic predominance in both parents accounts for the tendency for genetic defects. The miasmatic influence run in the families of both parents. The syphilitic miasm disturb the metabolism of the higher centers to produce deficient growth from brain to bone and blood. Kent's view "It is impossible to get the symptoms and wants of a child
especially in an infant except by interpreting its Gestures". Boger's view "Objective phenomena being the least deceptive, by their great
utility have contributed much to the brilliant success of Homoeopathy,
particularly in the diseases of children" The Case
