Patient's question:
When the child in my friend's family was born, they were and very cute. However, recently it is said that they have developed cerebral palsy, with significant developmental delays. They don't smile and cannot suck. My friend mentioned that it was a difficult birth and a medical accident during the delivery process. Everyone is very sad.What kind of help is needed: What are the causes of infantile cerebral palsy?
Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of cerebral palsy are manifested in infancy, often based on complaints of abnormal posture, activity, and delayed growth and development. Although the brain damage or developmental abnormalities in affected children are not progressive, their clinical manifestations often change as brain damage is repaired and growth and development progress. The most common pathological changes in premature infants are periventricular leukomalacia and periventricular hemorrhagic obstruction. In full-term infants, the pathological types are complex and diverse, often associated with aspiration ischemic brain injury. Marbled state refers to the recurrence of neuronal loss and gliosis in the basal ganglia and thalamus, accompanied by enhanced myelination, resulting in a marbled texture. It is a typical pathological change of kernicterus and is also seen in aspiration ischemic brain injury. The above is a suggestion for the question "What are the causes of childhood cerebral palsy," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
