Why do children with cerebral palsy have cerebral palsy before birth?

Patient's question:

The child from my younger brother's family had to undergo a comprehensive examination at a large hospital because of developmental delays at two months. The result was that the child is a cerebral palsy patient, in the early stage, requiring surgical treatment. The doctor said it is congenital, not formed after birth, and it may have been caused by the mother during pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

Mother smoked heavily during pregnancy, drank excessively, was exposed to chemical factors, infected during pregnancy, threatened miscarriage, medication, pregnancy poisoning, trauma, rheumatism, diabetes, fetal circulatory system diseases, low intelligence in the mother, nutritional disorders in the mother, severe anemia. In recent years, research on the relationship between infection M inflammation and cerebral palsy has made significant progress. Clinical and epidemiological data have confirmed that periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is an important risk factor for cerebral palsy, occurring during infection. The above suggests why cerebral palsy children are born with cerebral palsy. I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you health!
