Patient's question:
My son has cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello,If childhood cerebral palsy misses the best treatment opportunity, it can cause many harmful effects and impact many physiological functions of the patient, such as:
1. Lower limb and physical strength impairment—Children with cerebral palsy are generally shorter than normal children, have poor nutrition, and often suffer from respiratory disorders and are prone to respiratory infections.
2. Hearing impairment—The degree of hearing loss varies from high-pitched to low-pitched sounds. Parents should undergo early hearing tests to avoid abnormal development in children.
3. Visual impairment—Approximately 20% of children with cerebral palsy have eye disorders, primarily including strabismus (e.g., esotropia and exotropia), which refers to eye coordination disorders. Next are nystagmus and gaze disorders, as well as myopia and upward gaze paralysis.
4. Epilepsy—Statistics show that about half of patients with cerebral palsy also suffer from epilepsy.
5. Language impairment—Due to motor impairments in the vocal and articulation organs, limb movement disorders, hearing impairment, intellectual issues, and growth environment factors.
