Patient's question:
A child who has too many siblings often feels like they are growing very slowly. At the time, it wasn't taken seriously, as it was thought that all small children are like this. Perhaps if they grew slowly, things would gradually improve. However, at three months old, the child could not roll over by themselves, always slept on one side, and could not make direct eye contact with us. Later, when checked at the hospital, it was diagnosed as cerebral palsy in children.Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with cerebral palsy may have different symptoms at different times. There are many reasons, including genetic and chromosomal diseases, congenital infections, brain malformations or developmental abnormalities, fetal brain ischemia, and hypoxia caused by periventricular leukomalacia or basal ganglia damage. Perinatal factors refer to brain injuries that occur within one week after birth, including cerebral edema, neonatal shock, brain hemorrhage, sepsis or central nervous system infection, as well as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Perinatal factors may be an important cause of cerebral palsy in premature infants.
