Patient's question:
I gave birth to my baby when I was 37. At that time, because of low amniotic fluid, the baby's face was flushed red when he was born, but luckily, there was no major impact. However, as the baby grew older, I noticed that his little hands would always twitch, and he walked on his toes with both heels not touching the ground. His legs couldn't be separated when walking.Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are many causes of cerebral palsy, but it may account for more than 1/3. In some cases, multiple factors may be involved. Prenatal factors are the most common, including 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 within one week of birth, including brain edema, neonatal shock, intracranial hemorrhage, sepsis or central nervous system infections, as well as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Perinatal factors may be a significant cause of cerebral palsy in premature infants. Postnatal factors include central nervous system infections, cerebrovascular diseases, head trauma, and non-progressive brain damage caused by poisoning from one week to three or four years of age.
