What are the causes of cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

The baby still cannot walk at this age and is prone to falling. He speaks slowly and has unclear pronunciation. His gaze is very vacant, and he is slow to react. Sometimes he shakes uncontrollably and always tilts his head up. It is rare to see him smile. When taken to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said the baby shows symptoms of cerebral palsy. What causes cerebral palsy in children?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the causes of cerebral palsy are many, including placental abnormity, abnormal, intrauterine distress, premature birth, multiple pregnancies, birth asphyxia, neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, kernicterus, infection, trauma, intracerebral hemorrhage, and brain malformations, etc. The key to treating pediatric cerebral palsy lies in early detection and early treatment. Pediatric cerebral palsy is mainly caused by the damage and necrosis of brain neuron cells due to hypoxic-ischemia before and after birth. Therefore, the treatment for cerebral palsy focuses on repairing and regenerating the damaged brain neuron cells, which can fundamentally treat cerebral palsy.
