diplegia
:''For the variant due to cerebral palsy, see spastic diplegia''
Diplegia, when used singularly, refers to paralysis affecting symmetrical parts of the body. This should not be confused with hemiplegia which refers to spasticity restricted to one side of the body, or quadriplegia which requires the involvement of all four limbs but not necessarily symmetrical.〔 Diplegia is the most common cause of crippling in children, specifically in children with Cerebral Palsy.〔 Other causes may be due to injury of the spinal cord. There is no set course of progression for people with diplegia. Symptoms may get worse but the neurological part does not change. The primary parts of the brain that are affected by diplegia are the ventricles, fluid filled sacs in the brain, and the wiring from the center of the brain to the cerebral cortex.〔 There is also usually some degeneration of the cerebral neurons,〔 as well as problems in the upper motor neuron system.〔
The term diplegia can refer to any bodily area, such as the face, arms, or legs.
==Facial Diplegia==
Facial Diplegia refers to people with paralysis of both sides of their face. Bilateral occurs when the onset of the second side occurs within one month of the onset of the first side.〔 Facial diplegia occurs in 50% of patients with Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the second most common adult-onset muscular dystrophy with facial weakness being a distinct feature of FSHD in over 90% of cases.〔
