The comparative rarity of bilateral cerebral spastic palsy, a disease characteristic, as you know, exclusively of childhood, with the incompleteness of the modern doctrine of spastic diseases in general, prompts me to describe a case that I had recently observed in Pozdeevskaya Children's Hospital. This case is also of interest because of the extremely peculiar phenomena of hyperkinesis in the form of athetosis, noted in it, the origin of which, despite all the efforts spent so far by many, has not been clarified far enough.
