Patient's question:
Children of others have already started walking by this age, but my son still can't grasp things with his hands and finds it difficult to roll over. He also cannot stand properly. When looking at things, he always tilts his head, and his gaze seems rather vacant. After going to the hospital, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. What are the symptoms of congenital cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
The manifestations of cerebral palsy in infancy are not obvious, and many parents fail to notice them. Especially in the first 6 months after birth, since the child is still very young and cries a lot, many parents consider this normal. However, some of these behaviors are early signs of cerebral palsy. If the symptoms of cerebral palsy are not treated due to lack of intervention, it becomes difficult to treat. So, what are the manifestations of cerebral palsy in infants? The details are as follows:1. Weak body, reduced spontaneous movement. This is a symptom of hypotonia, which can be observed within the first month. If it persists for more than 4 months, it can be diagnosed as severe brain damage, intellectual disability, or a muscle system disease.
2. Lack of laughter: If you cannot laugh for 2 months or cannot laugh for 4 months, it can be diagnosed as intellectual disability.
