Patient's question:
My baby has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, but how could he get this disease at such a young age? We are receiving treatment as quickly as possible, but I want to know what causes this condition?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy is caused by a variety of direct and indirect factors leading to fetal or neonatal hypoxia due to damage to the central nervous system. The ways of hypoxia are as follows: 1. Intrauterine hypoxia caused by excessive amniotic fluid in the uterus is also known as fetal distress; 2. Placental contamination; 3. The speed of fetal delivery being too fast or too prolonged for the mother. If the infant has clinical symptoms, such as crying out loud, poor mental state, and postnatal lethargy, it should be highly suspected that the newborn's brain is damaged, which is also likely to cause cerebral palsy.
