hemiWhat Is Hemiplegia?

Hemiplegia is a health condition which causes complete weakness of one side of the body either right or left. In the Greek language, ‘hemi’ means half. The prominent cause of Hemiplegia is an injury to parts of the brain that control movements of your limbs, trunk, face, and the other parts of the body. If your left side of the brain suffers injury, then you tend to suffer from right hemiplegia. And, if the right side of your brain suffers from an injury, then it tends to cause left hemiplegia.

What causes hemiplegia?

1.Brain tumors can hamper the functioning of the brain leading to hemiplegia.

2. Infections of the brain, such as meningitis and encephalitis, can lead to hemiplegia.

3. Stroke is insufficient blood supply to the brain leading to loss of brain functions of brain cells. The stroke can occur due to a clot formed within a blood vessel blocking the blood. A thrombus or clot formed in blood vessel breaks away from its site of origin and forms a block elsewhere in the circulation to the brain leading to stroke. A  bleeding from a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain can also lead to stroke.

4. Vasculitis: Inflammation of blood vessels of the brain can be one of the causes for the occurrence of hemiplegia.

Congenital conditions, such as cerebral palsy, injury to the brain during childbirth, and difficult labor, may lead to hemiplegia in infants. Leukodystrophies is a rare disorder affecting the myelin sheath which covers and protects nerve cells in the brain. The condition usually appears in infancy or childhood.
