Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. One of my friends is now about six or seven months pregnant. She went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up a few days ago, and the doctor said the baby's condition was not good, and it might be a case of cerebral palsy if born. Is cerebral palsy the same as Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome and cerebral palsy are two different diseases. Down syndrome is what we refer to as Down syndrome. Generally, patients will exhibit symptoms similar to dementia. This condition is a chromosomal genetic disease, while cerebral palsy is a non-progressive brain injury. Generally, they will consider factors such as parents smoking or drinking alcohol, or the fetus being infected in the womb, which can lead to cerebral palsy. It is recommended that you have your child undergo a detailed examination to determine what the condition is.
