Patient's question:
Her cousin's son was one year old and still couldn't walk, and his finger extension was also not good, and he didn't seem to have a language barrier when speaking, and he walked with a limp. Later, after checking the hospital, he was finally diagnosed with cerebral palsy. I want to know what are the manifestations of cerebral palsy in children?Doctor's answer:
Childhood cerebral palsy is primarily characterized by muscle movement disorders and postural disorders, and most cerebral palsy patients do not have intellectual disabilities. The earlier the treatment for childhood cerebral palsy begins, the lower the difficulty and cost of treatment. If an infant cannot open their hands or retract their thumb within 4 months, especially on one side of the upper limb, this is a symptom of mild cerebral palsy. If a baby cannot smile within 2 months or cannot smile within 4 months, the laughter can be diagnosed as intellectual disability, which is a symptom of mild cerebral palsy. If an infant remains stiff and does not want to move at 4 months, this is a symptom of cerebral palsy. If an infant shows no response at 6 months. If the name is incorrect, it may be cerebral palsy or mild intellectual disability.
