Patient's question:
My child was taught to walk at the age of 100 days, but he couldn't, and even when people tried to help, he couldn't walk properly. As he grew older, he still couldn't walk. It was only after a check-up at the hospital that we found out he had cerebral palsy and did not receive treatment. What are the causes of infantile cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The causes of cerebral palsy are numerous, with prenatal factors being the most common. Perinatal factors refer to brain damage that occurs from the start of labor to one week after birth, including cerebral edema, neonatal shock, intracranial hemorrhage, sepsis or central nervous system infection, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and more. While prematurity and intrauterine growth restriction are not direct causes of cerebral palsy, they are significant risk factors. Maternal intrauterine inflammation or chorioamnionitis, as a potential risk factor, is increasingly gaining attention. The above suggestions address the question "What are the causes of childhood cerebral palsy?" and hope to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
