Patient's question:
My colleague's baby is already this big now, but he still can't call out or walk. When we visited their house, we tried to entertain him, but he didn't show much expression. My colleague tearfully told us that their child had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello: The most common prenatal factors include genetic and chromosomal diseases, congenital infections, brain developmental malformations or dysplasia, perinatal factors such as periventricular leukomalacia or basal ganglia damage caused by fetal brain ischemia and hypoxia. Perinatal factors refer to brain injuries that occur from the start of delivery to one week after birth, including cerebral edema, neonatal shock, intracranial hemorrhage, sepsis or central nervous system infection, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Perinatal factors may be an important cause of cerebral palsy in premature infants.
