Patient's question:
My child, when he was a hundred days old, was taught to walk, but he couldn't. He couldn't even walk properly when called. As he grew older, he still couldn't walk. It was only after a check-up at the hospital that we learned he had cerebral palsy, and he has not been treated.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can lead to cerebral palsy. Prenatal factors are the most common. Perinatal factors refer to brain damage that occurs within one week of birth, including cerebral edema, neonatal shock, brain hemorrhage, sepsis, or central nervous system infection. Hemorrhagic encephalopathy and other conditions. Prematurity and intrauterine growth restriction, although not direct causes of cerebral palsy, are important risk factors. Intrauterine inflammation or chorioamnionitis is increasingly being recognized as a potential risk factor. The child's current condition needs to be treated in the hospital for better recovery in the future.
