ICD-11 code : 8D21;
Preferred Label : Dyskinetic cerebral palsy;
ICD-11 definition : Dyskinetic cerebral palsy, also known as extrapyramidal cerebral palsy is characterized
by impairment of voluntary movement because of the presence of interfering involuntary
movements, and inappropriate co-contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles (dystonia).
This group of disorders includes choreoathetotic cerebral palsy and dystonic cerebral
palsy. The former is characterized by large amplitude, involuntary movements of mainly
distal limbs(athetosis) with or without small amplitude, fleeting, asymmetric contractions
of individual muscle groups (chorea). Dystonic cerebral palsy predominantly affects
proximal trunk and limb muscles, which may show slow, persistent movements, leading
to the adoption of unusual postures, such as torticollis.;
ICD-11 synonym : athetoid cerebral paralysis; dyskinetic cerebral paralysis; Vogt disease; Athetoid cerebral palsy;
ICD-11 inclusion : état marbré; congenital athetosis; bilateral acquired athetosis; athetoid cerebrum palsy; bilateral athetosis; Dystonic cerebral palsy; status marmoratus; double athetosis syndrome; double athetosis; Athetoid cerebral palsy;
