Patient's question:
My younger brother is 15 years old and suffers from cerebral palsy. He was examined at a local hospital and just diagnosed with cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, cerebral palsy in children can lead to:1. Central motor disorders, characterized by delayed motor development, significantly lagging behind children. The disease is often only discovered by parents when the child struggles to lift their head, roll over, or sit. The limbs of the affected child rarely move, especially the lower limbs, often、、. Due to difficulties in autonomous movement, the actions become stiff and uncoordinated, often exhibiting abnormal movement patterns.
2. Abnormal muscle tone and posture. When there are lesions in the extrapyramidal system or basal ganglia, the main manifestations of cerebral palsy in children include abnormal movements, increased muscle tone, athetosis, chorea, and muscle rigidity. When there are lesions in the cerebellum, ataxia and low muscle tone may appear. When there are widespread lesions in the brain, muscle rigidity and tremors may occur. If not treated in time, these conditions can become very serious.
