Patient's question:
The daughter of my sister has been born for half a month, but recently my sister found that her daughter cannot lift her head when lying prone. She took her to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by hypoxia, which may lead to cerebral palsy. However, besides the inability to lift her head when lying prone, the child is otherwise normal. What are the symptoms and manifestations of cerebral palsy in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy in Newborns, Intellectual Disability: Among all children with cerebral palsy, approximately 1/4 of the children with normal intelligence, about 1/2 of those with mild or moderate intellectual disability, and 1/4 of those with severe intellectual disability exhibit symptoms of cerebral palsy. The diagnosis and treatment of cerebral palsy require high standards of hospital technology, equipment, and expert experience. Therefore, cerebral palsy must be treated in a regular, specialized hospital for brain diseases. It is recommended to seek treatment in a regular, professional hospital.
