Patient's question:
My son has cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if childhood cerebral palsy misses the best treatment opportunity, it will cause many harmful effects and impact many physiological functions of the patient, such as:1. Lower limb and physical strength impairment — Cerebral palsy children 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 cerebral palsy children have eye disorders, primarily strabismus (e.g., esotropia and exotropia), followed by nystagmus, gaze disorders, 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.
