What are the causes of childhood cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

The child of a friend was very cute and chubby when they were born, but recently it is said that they have developed cerebral palsy, with delayed development, they don't smile, and they can't suck. My friend said it was due to a difficult birth and a medical accident during the delivery process. Everyone is very sad.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, (4) Abnormal delivery process: such as delayed delivery, inversion, use of forceps during surgery, suction, or anesthesia; or prolonged labor; (5) Newborn factors: newborn asphyxia, cardiopulmonary dysfunction, such as congenital heart disease, respiratory distress syndrome, circulatory failure, polycythemia; (6) Kernicterus: an important cause of cerebral palsy, with the development of perinatal medicine, the proportion of cerebral palsy caused by kernicterus has decreased; (7) High fever, trauma, shock, etc.
