Patient's question:
My sister's daughter is a premature baby and is now 5 months old. However, she still cannot roll over. Children of the same age have already learned to sit. My sister took her to the hospital, and the doctor said it might be cerebral palsy. My sister and her family are all healthy. What causes infantile cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy in children is the abbreviation for cerebral palsy, referring to brain damage caused by various reasons (such as infection, bleeding, trauma, etc.) and non-progressive central motor dysfunction. Severe cases are accompanied by intellectual disability. Most mothers smoke or are passively exposed to smoke during pregnancy, abuse alcohol, use improper drugs, come into contact with toxic substances, suffer from toxoplasmosis, rheumatism, threatened miscarriage, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, placental dysfunction, and maternal age.
