Patient's question:
Colleagues and my husband got married late. After two years, they finally had a baby. My colleague and her husband are generally in good health. But for some reason, the baby wasn't doing well right after birth. Recently, when they went to the hospital for a check-up, they found out that the baby had infantile cerebral palsy.Doctor's answer:
Causes of Cerebral Palsy in Children: The causes of cerebral palsy are many, and they may occur during birth, before birth, or in the neonatal period after birth. Sometimes it is caused by multiple factors, although about one-third of cases have been traced, the cause remains unknown. For many years, it has been believed that the main causes of cerebral palsy are premature birth, birth injuries, perinatal asphyxia, and kernicterus, but not all of these causes lead to cerebral palsy. Therefore, these factors can only be considered as risk factors for the occurrence of cerebral palsy. It is best for patients to seek timely treatment at regular large hospitals.
