Anatomy of CNS
The central nervous system consist of the BRAIN & SPINAL CORD.
![Page 4: Central nervisous system disorders and their management in dental clinic](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5590d5b71a28ab56148b4782/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Physiology of CNS
Spinal cord - conducts sensory information to the brain - conducts motor information to the effector organs - serves as a simple regulatory centre (reflexes) - damage of the spinal cord breaks down the
connection between periphery and higher centres – serious consequences
• Brain the brain is the center of activity that integrates this information, initiates responses, and makes us the individuals we are.
- subcortical level - control of involuntary and subconscious functions, emotions

CEREBRAL PALSY
Cerebral palsy is the most common congenital physical handicap, with abnormalities of motor control caused by damage to the brain early in the course of development.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a permanent nonprogressive neuromuscular disorder caused by damage to the immature brain.
CP is caused mainly by hypoxia, trauma, infection or hyperbilirubineamia (high amnts of bile pigment, bilirubin in the blood), genetic factors may involved.

ETIOLOGY
All the conditions that can cause damage to the
cognitive areas of the brain with resultant mental
retardation (MR) can also affect the motor areas of
the brain and result in cerebral palsy. These include:
Prenatal Prematurity, acute maternal infections
(e.g. rubella), chronic maternal infections (e.g.
syphilis, herpes), radiation, drugs (e.g. alcohol,
cocaine), maternal dysfunctions (e.g. diabetes,
hypertension).
Neonatal Precipitate birth, apnea, hypoxia (most
common), birth injury, prolonged/ difficult labor.
Postnatal Trauma, brain tumors, infections (e.g.
encephalitis, meningitis), toxins (e.g. lead,
hydrocarbons).

Manifestations
Clinical • Intellectual disability (60% of patients) • Seizure disorder (30-50% of patients) • Delayed motor development • Limb spasticity • Persistent primitive reflexes • Involuntary movements, and
ataxia(Inability to coordinate voluntary muscle movements; unsteady movements and staggering gait)
![Page 9: Central nervisous system disorders and their management in dental clinic](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5590d5b71a28ab56148b4782/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Oral Manifestations • Increased risk for dental caries and periodontal
disease • Enamel hypoplasia • Dental erosion • Delayed eruption of permanent teeth • Dilantin(Phynotoin) hyperplasia for those with
epilepsy • Increased incidence of Class II Div I
malocclusion • Increased risk for oral trauma and injury • Others: Tongue thrust, mouth breathing,
hyperactive , dysphagia, oral hypersensitivity (overreaction to touch, taste, or smell), prolonged and exaggerated bite reflexes, bruxism, sialorrhea, poor oral hygiene.

Febrile Convulsion
Are common than epilepsy Usually affects children Arises from increased body temp (>38˚C) Commonly caused by infection (non-CNS
infections) Treatment maybe bathing with tepid water
and given acetaminophen Elixir (not Aspirin) Children under 18 month should be
hospitalized because the fit may be due to meningitis

Epilepsy
Periodic disturbances in neurological function with frequent changes in consciousness.
Due to abnormal excessive electrical discharge within the brain
There is paroxysmal (sudden uncontrollable attack) electrochemical disturbance
And it is of two types clinicallyI. Petit MalII. Grand mal
![Page 13: Central nervisous system disorders and their management in dental clinic](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5590d5b71a28ab56148b4782/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Factors that precipitate epilepsy Severe stress Alcohol drinks Hypoglycemia Severe pain Administration of large doses of LA Surgical procedures
NOTE: majority of cases in epilepsy are idiopathic
![Page 14: Central nervisous system disorders and their management in dental clinic](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5590d5b71a28ab56148b4782/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Petit mal
It is of a minor character, without warning
Pt loses consciousness for a few seconds Pt seldom falls or has convulsions On lookers may not notice anything
wrong
![Page 15: Central nervisous system disorders and their management in dental clinic](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5590d5b71a28ab56148b4782/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Grand mal
Characterized by generalized convulsions
Loss of consciousness Sometimes heralded by Aura But blood pressure and pulse remain
normal Muscle contraction may affect
respiration causing cyanosis Tongue may be bitten if not protected
![Page 16: Central nervisous system disorders and their management in dental clinic](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5590d5b71a28ab56148b4782/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Clinical presentation of Epilepsy
Seizures always occur in three phases• Aura• Convulsion• Post convulsion There is a risk of airway obstruction,
vomiting and tongue falling against posterior pharyngeal wall
After seizure, pt may present with headache and doesn't recall seizures

DIAGNOSIS & INVESTIGATIONS Full history (type, onset, cause,
frequency) EEG Electroencephalograph Biochemical test: glucose & calcium
estimation Liver function test MRI scans
![Page 18: Central nervisous system disorders and their management in dental clinic](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/5590d5b71a28ab56148b4782/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Dental management of Epilepsy Stress reduction protocol Administer small amount of LA Short appointments, as painless as
possible Additional anticonvulsant drugs before
procedure with consultation of pt physician
For pt with status epilepticus, treat with slow IV injection of Diazepam
