Patient's question:
When the child was 2 years old, he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The whole family was very worried. The child is still so young, I only hope he can grow up happily in the future, get a wife to continue the family line, but I worry that cerebral palsy will be inherited to the next generation. Is cerebral palsy hereditary?Doctor's answer:
In fact, congenital hydrocephalus in children is also related to genetics, but some children with congenital hydrocephalus also have other causes, such as: during pregnancy, the fetus is infected with a virus, the fetus is affected by drug side effects, etc. These conditions can also cause children to develop hydrocephalus. If a child has this condition, they need timely treatment. Cerebral palsy is not hereditary, but many children with movement disorders are often misdiagnosed as having cerebral palsy in early stages.
