Patient's question:
Child, complete anterior placenta, Cesarean section, mild amniotic fluid pollution, respiratory slowing and cyanosis appeared after establishing spontaneous breathing after birth, with hypoxia. Discharged after five days of hospitalization. What other treatments or rehabilitation exercises are needed, how long, and what is the probability of recovery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child is young, and the symptoms are not obvious, so a CT scan can be postponed for now. You can compare the following information: Cerebral palsy usually occurs before birth or during infancy, with causes including: birth injuries, neonatal jaundice, brain hypoxia; premature birth, etc. The main symptoms are increased muscle tone, difficulty in abduction, and in severe cases, muscle rigidity, contractures, and joint flexion. In mild cases, fine motor skills of the hands are poor, and the heels cannot touch the ground when walking. These patients often have language development and dysarthria, as well as strabismus. About 1/3 of patients have varying degrees of seizures and intellectual disabilities. Cerebral palsy can cause delayed motor development. If the child is still not active and does not move much after 3 months of birth, and there is no crawling movement of hands and feet when prone; if the hands are still tense after 4-6 months of birth.
