Patient's question:
When my friend's daughter was born, she suffered from brain hypoxia due to the umbilical cord. She was diagnosed with cerebral palsy right after birth. My friend has been seeking medical treatment everywhere, but the child's condition hasn't improved. Which hospital has the best treatment effect for cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, cerebral palsy often occurs before birth or during infancy, with causes including: birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, brain hypoxia, and premature birth. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone, difficulty with abduction, and in severe cases, muscle rigidity, contractions, and joints maintaining a flexed position. In mild cases, fine motor skills in the hands are poor, and when walking, the heels cannot touch the ground. These patients often have associated language development and speech disorders, as well as strabismus. Approximately one-third of patients exhibit varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities.
