Infantile spasmodic cerebral palsy, also known as infantile cerebral palsy, is a kind of motor and postural disorder caused by non-progressive injury due to underdeveloped immature brain under the influence of various reasons. Modern medicine mainly adopts surgical operations, rehabilitation training and other methods for treatment. According to the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "the spleen governs the limbs". The spleen provides nourishment for the limbs and muscles by transporting and transforming fine substances of grains and water. When the spleen's transportation and transformation function is dysfunctional, symptoms such as limb weakness and muscle atrophy will appear, which is similar to the manifestations of infantile spasmodic cerebral palsy. Based on this, this article attempts to discuss the treatment of infantile spasmodic cerebral palsy from the perspective of "spleen".
