Can patients with bilirubin encephalopathy get cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

Baby was born with jaundice and taken to the hospital for diagnosis of bilirubin encephalopathy. Is it possible for the child to also develop cerebral palsy?

Doctor's answer:

It may cause intellectual disability, weight loss, hepatic encephalopathy, etc., requiring liver-protecting treatment. We know that pediatric neurorehabilitation can cause significant harm to children. If treatment is not initiated promptly or if the wrong treatment methods are used, the condition can progress rapidly, posing great harm to young children. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their children's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
