ICD-11 definition : Spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy is a form of cerebral palsy in which spasticity
is generalized, yet most marked in the legs. Opisthotonic posturing is often apparent
in infancy, and head movement may elicit forced extension of the arms and legs. Suprabulbar
palsy is often present, causing impaired swallowing and articulation ('spastic dysarthria').;
