Patient's question:
My sister's son was born on July 23rd. Today when I took him to the hospital, he couldn't lift his head while lying face down. The doctor said it might be due to oxygen deprivation, which could potentially lead to cerebral palsy. Otherwise, the child is completely normal.Doctor's answer:
Among the various factors in the neonatal period, prematurity and low birth weight are important causes of cerebral palsy. The lower the weight, the greater the chance of developing cerebral palsy. Approximately half of modern cerebral palsy children are caused by prematurity. Severe neonatal jaundice, which can lead to bilirubin encephalopathy, can also cause cerebral palsy. Other causes include neonatal infections and brain tissue damage. Currently, about 1/4 of cerebral palsy children cannot find the cause. Continue using nutritional neurodrugs for general treatment for 3 months, and review the appearance of cranial CT according to the situation. Generally, if you spend a certain amount of time and effort to treat cerebral palsy, you will see some results, but the extent of the results will vary, but it will not increase.
