Patient's question:
My friend's child is now 1.5 years old and still cannot speak or walk. When I visit their house to play with him, he shows no expression at all. I suspect it might be cerebral palsy. I'd like to ask, what are the symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy? What kinds of symptoms do children with cerebral palsy typically have?Doctor's answer:
In children with cerebral palsy, once it occurs, the child will exhibit symptoms of cerebral palsy. Additionally, other symptoms may also appear along with the onset of cerebral palsy. 25% to 35% of children with cerebral palsy are associated with epilepsy, especially after birth, intracranial hemorrhage, infections caused by cerebral palsy, or cerebral palsy itself, most of which are accompanied by epilepsy. Seizures may occur in infants at an early age and may become more frequent as they grow older. Cerebral palsy has many symptoms, in addition to the symptoms mentioned above, it may also include dental development disorders, emotional and behavioral disorders, sensory abnormalities, and cognitive and behavioral disorders.
