Patient's question:
Got cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello,If childhood cerebral palsy misses the best treatment opportunity, it can cause many harms and affect many physiological functions of the patient, such as:
1. Lowering physical and motor function——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, with different types of impairments. Parents should undergo early hearing tests to avoid abnormal development in children.
3. Visual impairment——About 20% of children with cerebral palsy have eye disorders, primarily strabismus (e.g., esotropia and exotropia), followed by nystagmus, gaze disorders, and other conditions such as myopia and upward gaze paralysis.
4. Epilepsy——Statistics show that about half of the cases are accompanied by epilepsy.
5. Language impairment——Due to motor disorders of the vocal and articulation organs, limb motor disorders, hearing impairment, intellectual issues, and growth environment factors.
