Patient's question:
My nephew was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth. We don't have this medical history in our family, and my sister-in-law is a normal person. However, on the day of the birth, she experienced a difficult labor and endured pain for two days and two nights before the child was finally born. The mother and child were safely delivered, but the doctor said my nephew had cerebral palsy and advised us to prepare mentally.Doctor's answer:
Hello! The reasons include congenital injuries, neonatal gallbladder nucleus, and hypoxia of the brain; premature birth. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone and difficulty in being bound. In severe cases, muscle stiffness, spasms, and joint retention of flexion posture can be observed. Those with milder conditions may see slight weakness in hand movements and inability to touch the ground with their heels while walking. Many drugs cannot directly penetrate the blood-brain barrier and cannot produce direct pharmacological effects. Rehabilitation exercises can only improve the imitation ability of children with cerebral palsy and mental retardation, and enhance some motor abilities.
