Patient's question:
My niece's child's child has been born for a month, and there is a bit of twitching when sleeping. A brain CT was done, and the results were normal, but the doctor said the child's twitching skin and hand inversion are a bit like cerebral palsy. What are the symptoms of children with cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The incidence of cerebral palsy is mostly before or during infancy. The reasons include: congenital injuries, neonatal gallbladder nucleus, brain hypoxia; premature birth and others: The main symptoms are muscle stiffness, difficulty with abduction, severe muscle hypertrophy, contractures, and joint flexion. Those with milder cases may observe slight, weak movements of the hands, and inability to touch the ground with their heels when walking. These patients often accompany language development, dysarthria, and strabismus, with about one-third of patients experiencing varying degrees of convulsions and intellectual disability.
