What diseases should be distinguished from the developmental stunting of little girls?

The most common characteristics of poor development in little girls are brain development and height development. However, there are no obvious differences in the physical characteristics of children in the developmental period. It is difficult for parents to discover the developmental disorders their children suffer from, and they will confuse them with diseases with similar symptoms. So, which diseases should be distinguished from poor development in little girls? At this time, it is necessary to distinguish it from the following diseases in order to use the appropriate treatment plan to treat the disease.

1. Mental retardation. This disease often has delayed motor development, uncoordinated and inflexible movements, abnormal primitive reflexes, VOJTA postural reflexes, righting reactions and balance reactions. It is easy to be misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy in early infancy, but the symptoms of mental retardation are more prominent, muscle tone is basically normal, and there is no abnormal posture.

2. Delayed motor development. Some children's motor development lags slightly behind normal children of the same age, especially premature babies. However, it is not accompanied by abnormal muscle tone and postural reflexes, abnormal movement patterns, or other abnormal reflexes of the nervous system. The symptoms of motor development retardation can disappear in a short period of time as the child grows older and focuses on sports training.

3. Congenital muscular relaxation. The affected children have obvious hypotonia, muscle weakness, and low or absent deep tendon reflexes immediately after birth. It is often complicated by respiratory tract infections. The disease is sometimes misdiagnosed as hypotonic cerebral palsy, but the tendon reflexes of the latter can usually be elicited.

4. Progressive spinal muscular atrophy begins in infancy, with progressive muscle weakness, obvious muscle atrophy, decreased or absent tendon reflexes, and repeated respiratory tract infections due to respiratory muscle insufficiency. Muscle biopsy can help confirm the diagnosis.

5. Congenital clubfoot: The child is born with clubfoot deformity on both feet, without other abnormalities such as muscle spasms.

6. Movement disorder: Children with cerebral dysplasia have lower motor skills than normal children of the same age and poor motor self-control. In mild cases, the hands and feet are only slightly inflexible or clumsy. In severe cases, the hands cannot grasp things, the feet cannot walk, and some cannot even turn over, sit up, stand, chew and swallow normally.

When a little girl is stunted, we have to identify many diseases. Of course, the scope of maldevelopment is very large, including organs and parts of the body. Children should do health care on time during their growth period. The doctor will refer to the normal data for analysis and summarize the characteristics of the little girl's maldevelopment. Of course, further examination and diagnosis are needed. After the specific part of the maldevelopment is confirmed, it can be effectively treated, and the impact and harm to the future will be reduced.
