Patient's question:
Listen to my sister say that her child just came out and got brain damage, and now this hospital is implementing a rescue. As her sister, I am also very worried. What does infantile cerebral palsy look like?Doctor's answer:
The appearance of a child's head with cerebral palsy is normal, but the underlying disease in the brain is not visible on the surface. While the head of a child with cerebral palsy may appear the same as a normal head, there is a possibility that due to the increase in nerve cells, the head circumference may be abnormal, and the head may be heavier. Cerebral palsy generally manifests as motor impairments in the child's limbs, making it difficult for them to walk or walk with abnormal gait, such as walking on their toes in a scissor-like manner, difficulty squatting, etc. Hand movements are not coordinated, making it difficult to pick up objects with the hands or always using one hand to hold things. There may also be intellectual delays and delayed language development.
