Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

The hazards of cerebral palsy: Cerebral palsy mainly involves visual and auditory impairments, with many patients suffering from myopia or strabismus. Next is postural abnormalities, where various body postures are abnormal, movements or rest positions are clumsy, and asymmetry between the left and right sides. They cannot maintain a vertical central position like normal children but tend to lean to one side or sway from side to side. Developmental delays, some mild cases of cerebral palsy can develop or approach normal, but most patients with cerebral palsy are shorter than their peers and appear developmentally delayed. According to relevant reports, 90% of children with cerebral palsy can survive into adulthood or even old age. The estimated average life expectancy is 30 years, with about 10% of infants or children dying.
