Patient's question:
My child was born prematurely at 18 months (born in July), and can roll over, sit with hands supporting, loves to be tickled, and is very cheerful. Here is a summary of previous diagnoses, treatments, and their effects: At 12 months, an MRI showed cerebellar hypoplasia.Doctor's answer:
Premature infants are prone to spastic cerebral palsy, with the main clinical manifestations being motor dysfunction in sitting, standing, walking, and other movements. Cerebellar ataxia primarily affects the development of children's motor functions. Whether other types of cerebral palsy are present depends on clinical examination. For spastic cerebral palsy, the most effective treatment is the use of needle knife therapy to reduce muscle tension, while traditional Chinese medicine combined with rehabilitation training serves as adjuvant therapy, with noticeable results appearing quickly. Six months ago, your child missed the golden window for cerebral palsy treatment, so don’t miss the best treatment time before the age of three. I hope your child recovers quickly.
