Patient's question:
After the child was born, they were always and very cute. But a few months later, we suddenly noticed that their development was slower than other children. We took them to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor also said they had developmental delays, suspecting cerebral palsy. Additionally, they have been having seizures recently, and it's possible they might also have epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy, usually refers to central motor disorders caused by non-progressive brain damage or brain developmental abnormalities due to various reasons from before birth to within one month after birth. Clinically, it is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia, often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, behavioral disorders, and secondary skeletal muscle abnormalities, and may also have seizures.Advice: The principle of cerebral palsy treatment is early diagnosis and early treatment, promoting normal motor and sensory development, and inhibiting abnormal motor patterns. According to different developmental stages, progress step by step and persistently, requiring active participation from the child's parents and close cooperation with medical staff to enable the child to achieve daily self-care.
