What are the causes of cerebral palsy in children?

Patient's question:

My child is currently under one year old and has already been diagnosed with hospital, it is congenital cerebral palsy, and when the child was just born, the child was different from other children. I want to know what are the main causes of infantile cerebral palsy?

Doctor's answer:

Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia or preterm birth may lead to cerebral palsy in newborns. If a newborn has hypoxia-ischemia disease in the mother, the newborn will suffer from respiratory distress syndrome and polycythemia after birth, and the occurrence of these diseases will damage the brain cells of the newborn. Then, it will cause cerebral palsy in children. Cerebral palsy in children may be due to preterm birth. According to clinical findings, premature infants are more prone to brain development disorders and brain trauma, so children are more likely to suffer from cerebral palsy.
