Patient's question:
My baby is a premature infant. Due to lack of oxygen in the womb, he was delivered two months early by Caesarean section. Now he is almost one year old and still cannot lift his head. His reactions are also slow. The result is infantile cerebral palsy. Why does it cause infantile cerebral palsy? What are the causes of infantile cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Etiology of Cerebral Palsy in Children:1. Severe neonatal jaundice, which causes bilirubin encephalopathy, is also a cause of cerebral palsy in children. Other causes include neonatal infections and brain tissue damage.
2. Various abnormal conditions during pregnancy in the mother may be the cause of cerebral palsy in children, such as fetal brain malformations and multiple pregnancies. The incidence of cerebral palsy in twins is six times higher than in single births.
3. Exposure to certain radiation during pregnancy or the use of antibiotics and other drugs with side effects that can cause abnormal brain development in children may also be a cause of cerebral palsy in children.
4. Birth asphyxia, birth injuries, and neonatal brain hemorrhage are also among the causes of cerebral palsy in children.
