Patient's question:
Can cerebral palsy children be cured? My sister's child suffers from infantile cerebral palsy. When it first appeared, even doing simple things was impossible, which hurt the family very much. They have also looked into many doctors. I want to ask, can infantile cerebral palsy really be cured? Can cerebral palsy children really be cured?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy refers to a non-progressive brain damage caused by various reasons from before a child's birth to within one month after birth, which reaches its most severe stage after occurring and no new lesions develop thereafter. It primarily manifests as motor disorders of the central nervous system and may be accompanied by symptoms such as intellectual disability, epilepsy, perceptual and sensory impairments, language and mental behavioral abnormalities. Some children may have long-term sequelae such as limb deformities and intellectual impairments. Cerebral palsy is one of the main causes of childhood disability. When parents notice abnormal postures or other abnormalities in their children, they should consult a doctor promptly to achieve early diagnosis and treatment to the greatest extent possible. It is recommended to visit the rehabilitation department of a children's hospital for a clear diagnosis and targeted treatment.
