CP is classified into four types viz., spastic, ataxic, dyskinetic, and mixed. Dyskinetic cerebral palsy results from extra pyramidal damage, often with a high handicap in movement and hard to treat. Dyskinetic cerebral palsy may display various syndromes corresponding with different etiologies and lesions. Recent epidemiological studies show that the prevalence of cerebral palsy is around 2‰-3‰, and that of dyskinesia about 11.4%-15%. According to Ayurveda, it is classified under the disease categories of Sahaja (hereditary) and garbhaja (congenital) type of diseases. The present article deals with a diagnosed case of a 3-year-old female child of dyskinetic CP with Gross Developmental Delay and deaf-mute. An effort was made to treat her by using multiple Ayurveda treatment modalities including oral intake of Manasmitravatakam and Ksheer Bala Capsule, Massage with Ashwagandha Bala Tail, Shalishashtik PindaSweda and Matra Basti. The assessment was done on the basis of anthropometrical measurements, developmental milestones, modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), spasm scale, manual ability classi fication system (MACS), reflex scale, muscle power grading, GMFCS andBarthel Index. At the end of six months' treatment overall 30 to35% improvement was observed with complete cure in sensory-neural deafness. Recovery of the child was promising and worth documenting.
