 Triplegia has also been found to be due to an increase in intracranial pressure associated with hydrocephalus resulting from traumatic brain injury.A similar condition is triparesis, in which the patient suffers from paresis in three limbs, meaning that the limbs are very weak, but not completely paralyzed.In a case reported only due to its rarity, triplegia was reported following a tonsillectomy (surgical removal of the tonsils).
