Patient's question:
My child is almost 5 months old and often lies there motionless. Even when I give toys, he doesn't grab them. The hospital diagnosed it as infantile cerebral palsy. I want to know what causes infantile cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The causes of cerebral palsy in children are numerous, such as rubella infection in pregnant women, syphilis or cytomegalovirus infection during pregnancy, severe anemia, pregnancy poisoning, and frequent exposure to radiation environments; severe asphyxia at birth, severe jaundice, and birth trauma leading to intracranial hemorrhage in infants; after birth, infants may suffer from various central systemic diseases or experience frequent persistent convulsions. These factors may lead to brain damage or developmental defects in children's brains, resulting in cerebral palsy.
