Congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome is a rare neurological disorder characterized by abnormal brain development affecting the perisylvian region. It is estimated to have a prevalence of approximately 1 in 30,000 to 1 in 100,000 individuals. The syndrome primarily affects language and motor skills, leading to difficulties in speaking, swallowing, and fine motor movements. Intellectual disability and epilepsy are also commonly associated with the condition. Due to its rarity, accurate prevalence rates may vary, and further research is needed to fully understand the extent of this syndrome.
Congenital bilateral perisylvian syndrome (CBPS) is a rare neurological disorder that affects the development of the brain. It is characterized by a range of symptoms including difficulties with speech and language, seizures, and motor impairments. CBPS is typically present from birth and is caused by abnormal brain development in the perisylvian region, which is responsible for language and motor functions.
Due to its rarity, the prevalence of CBPS is not well-established. However, studies suggest that it occurs in approximately 1 in every 100,000 to 1 in every 200,000 individuals. It affects both males and females equally and has been reported in various ethnic groups worldwide.
CBPS is often diagnosed in early childhood when delays in speech and language development become apparent. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among individuals, with some experiencing mild difficulties while others may have more significant impairments.
While there is currently no cure for CBPS, treatment focuses on managing the symptoms and improving quality of life. This may involve speech therapy, occupational therapy, and medications to control seizures if present.
