“Intervención de estimulación temprana en un paciente con lipofuscinosis ceroidea neuronal tipo II, en el centro de salud tipo B Santa Rosa”

Abstract

This research paper aims to analyze the intervention of Early Stimulation in a patient with Ceroidea Neuronal Lipofuscinosis type II, at the Centro de Salud tipo B Santa Rosa. This research is of qualitative type because the characteristics of the disease are cited which is rare and with very little studied. Lipofuscinosis Ceroidea Neuronal type II is of autosomal recessive hereditary origin, it is a neurodegenerative disease, it starts between 2 and 4 years of age, first stops the psychomotor development, epilepsies occur, ataxias, continuous myoclonus, progressively loses motor skills as well as his vision, his cognitive level has a slow deterioration, and he becomes very irritable. This disease was diagnosed in a patient at 3 years of age, currently psychomotor development has had a regression, has amielínico involvement of the visual pathways with predominance of the left visual pathway and is a very irritable child. The patient’s parents are fighting with the Ecuadorian Ministry of Public Health to obtain the very costly drug Cerliponasa Alfa. When the psychomotor development of the affected child is found in all its areas is proposed an intervention plan in Early Stimulation using Sensory Integration as a treatment technique, to achieve increase muscle tone, improve your posture, coordination, precision, balance, maintain their cognitive functions, reduce their irritability and hypersensitivity, thus integrating and adapting to their entire organism.
