Patient's question:
The child of my uncle was found to be abnormal from the time of birth. After examination, the doctor told them that it was due to brain damage that caused this. He kept drooling and looked abnormal, with some changes in his facial features. Can children with cerebral palsy recover?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Cerebral palsy refers to a syndrome characterized primarily by posture and motor dysfunction, resulting from non-progressive brain damage during the immature stage of brain development within the first month after birth. It is a common central nervous system disorder in childhood, with the lesion located in the brain and affecting the limbs. It is often accompanied by intellectual disabilities, epilepsy, behavioral abnormalities, mental disorders, and visual impairments. The goal is to restore and treat overall and local functions by utilizing the child's own strength through active and passive movements.Suggestions: There are currently many treatment methods available. Since the child is still young and in the process of developing and refining the nervous system, timely intervention can maximize the repair of developmental brain abnormalities.
