What are the complications of cerebral palsy in children?

Patient's question:

I had healthy prenatal check-ups while I was pregnant. However, when the baby was born, there were symptoms of the umbilical cord and oxygen deprivation. After the child was born, it was discovered through tests that my child had cerebral palsy. At that time, I gave up hope. Now the child is two years old. His hands and feet are not flexible, and he cannot speak fluently.

Doctor's answer:

Cerebral palsy typically refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or abnormal brain development due to various reasons from birth to one month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal postures, muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. It is often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral impairments, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities. Seizures may also occur. Frequent attacks of cerebral palsy can lead to quadriplegia, sensory abnormalities, monoplegia, and intellectual disability. It is more common in the hands and feet. At least in children with ataxia, timely treatment of cerebral palsy is not advisable. A large amount of experimental and clinical data suggests that when the limbic system of the brain, especially the hippocampus, is damaged, it may lead to emotional abnormalities in children. Children often exhibit good crying, stubbornness, stubbornness, loneliness, temperament, and emotional.
