What terrible complications can occur in children with cerebral palsy?

Patient's question:

My sister-in-law gave birth to a boy five months ago. The child is very healthy, but it was found that he has cerebral palsy. This has been a huge shock to them, and the family is very worried. They would like to consult about the terrible complications that can occur in pediatric cerebral palsy.

Doctor's answer:

Cerebral palsy often occurs, and severe quadriplegia may also appear. Hemiplegia is more common in patients with hemiplegia and intellectual disability. Children with ataxia are rarely seen. If cerebral palsy is not treated in time, behavior may be hindered. A large amount of experimental and clinical data shows that when the limbic system of the brain, especially the hippocampus, is damaged, it can cause emotional abnormalities in children. Children often exhibit good crying, self-will, stubbornness, loneliness, temperament, fragile emotions, easy to be excited, and some have a sense of pleasure, emotional instability, etc., which are more common in children with ataxia.
