Patient's question:
Can cerebral palsy be detected during prenatal examinations?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy refers to cerebral palsy in newborns, which is caused by various harmful factors interfering with the fetus during early pregnancy, the process of labor, or postpartum, leading to ischemic and hypoxic encephalopathy. Cerebral palsy is generally not detectable during prenatal examinations. Even if there are no obvious abnormalities during pregnancy, it cannot be ruled out that harmful factors may have interfered during labor or postpartum, leading to cerebral palsy.
