Patient's question:
The daughter of a friend previously had acute encephalitis, and now she doesn't respond but only calls for her mother. Her condition is improving, but she walks with her toes slightly lifted. Walking with lifted toes is better than when she first started walking, but she still walks with her toes lifted at the age of 28. Now, there is suspicion of cerebral palsy. Please ask: Is it possible to develop cerebral palsy as a sequelae after acute encephalitis?Doctor's answer:
If encephalitis occurs, subsequent abnormal symptoms should be post-encephalitic syndrome, which is similar to cerebral palsy. Since brain cells have already been damaged, the later stage mainly involves rehabilitation training, and some brain nerve cell nutrition drugs can be used according to medical advice. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
