Patient's question:
The child of my older brother is a cerebral palsy patient. Up to now, he still cannot walk well. His legs cannot be separated in a scissor-like posture, and he also cannot grasp things firmly at all. All the family members in my house are perfectly normal, and such children have never appeared before. Now, the family of my older brother is constantly worried about this matter.Doctor's answer:
This child has cerebral palsy. Until now, he still cannot walk well. His legs cannot separate in a scissor-like position, and he cannot hold onto things firmly. There are many causes of cerebral palsy in children. It is necessary to undergo a detailed examination at the hospital. The most common prenatal factors include genetic and chromosomal diseases, congenital infections, brain malformations or developmental abnormalities, fetal brain local ischemia, and hypoxia caused by periventricular leukomalacia or basal ganglia damage. Perinatal factors refer to brain injuries that occur from the start of delivery to within one week after birth, including cerebral edema, neonatal shock, brain hemorrhage, sepsis or central nervous system infections, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and so on.
