What are the causes of cerebral palsy in children?

Patient's question:

I had my baby when I was 37. At that time, because of low amniotic fluid, the baby's face was flushed red when he was born. But when he grew up, I found that his little hands always twitched, and he walked on his toes with both heels not touching the ground, and his legs couldn't be separated when walking. What is the main cause of cerebral palsy in children?

Doctor's answer:

The cause of cerebral palsy is relatively complex. Fetal hypoxia during delivery is the leading factor leading to neonatal cerebral palsy, but prenatal factors such as advanced maternal age, multiple pregnancies, and infections are the main causes of cerebral palsy. If the mother of the child becomes pregnant after the age of 35 and has some signs of miscarriage, the pregnancy needs to be protected, and it is highly likely that the child will be abnormal after birth. Pregnant women with the above symptoms should seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid missing the opportunity.
