Patient's question:
When the child of a friend was born, he was and very cute. However, recently it is said that he has developed cerebral palsy, with very slow development, and he doesn't smile or suck either. My friend said it was a difficult birth, and there was a medical accident during the delivery process. Everyone is very sad.Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of cerebral palsy manifest in infancy, typically characterized by abnormal postures and a lack of motor development. Although brain damage or abnormal brain development is non-progressive, the clinical manifestations of brain damage often change with the repair and development of brain injury. The most common pathological changes in premature infants are periventricular leukomalacia and periventricular hemorrhagic infarction. The pathological types in full-term infants are very complex and are usually associated with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. The marbled state is characterized by neuronal loss and gliosis in the basal ganglia and thalamus, accompanied by increased myelination, presenting a marbled texture. This is a typical change of kernicterus and can also be seen in hypoxic-ischemic injury. The above is a suggestion for the question "What are the causes of pediatric cerebral palsy." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
