What is the reason for a child being born with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

When the child was born, he didn't cry and got into a fight with the doctor. He was beaten on the foot when he was 7 months old and couldn't sit until he was 7 years old. At the age of 10, he had surgery done by the hospital, which was clearly effective. However, he couldn't walk outside but could walk at home. When he walked, he was still unsteady, as if he was about to fall.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Difficulty with breastfeeding, such as the infant not being able to suck, having weak sucking ability, or rejecting the breast, or feeling exhausted and weak after sucking; whether there has been excessive quietness, small cries, or persistent crying; whether there has been a lack of spontaneous movement, low muscle tone, overall flaccidity, and a state of weakness; whether there has been overall stiffness, arching, increased muscle tone, frequent escape from the, head and back flexion, sometimes the head tilting to one side, and stiff extension of the lower limbs; whether there have been symptoms such as easy startle, convulsions, screaming, or restlessness; whether there have been abnormal postures, such as adduction and internal rotation of the upper limbs, clenched fists, etc.
Recommendations: Hello: The most common prenatal factors include genetic and chromosomal diseases, congenital infections, brain developmental malformations or dysplasia, periventricular leukomalacia or basal ganglia damage due to 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 infections, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, etc.
