Abstract
- A 12 year old boy with gradually worsening global developmental delay was diagnosed and managed as quadriplegic cerebral palsy since child-hood. Subsequent evaluation revealed marked dystonia over spasticity leading to suspicion of Segawa syndrome. Dramatic improvement in clinical condition followed after therapy with low dose L-Dopa.
