Patient's question:
What are the causes of cerebral palsy in children? My brother and sister had a premature birth due to an accident when my nephew was eight months old. Unfortunately, my nephew got cerebral palsy because of this. Now he is two and a half years old. I want to ask what the cause is?Doctor's answer:
There are three reasons that can lead to cerebral palsy in premature infants: intracranial edema, prematurity, and white matter damage; immature fetuses are more sensitive to cerebral ischemia during labor and after birth; cerebral palsy is the result of persistent movement in many immature fetuses. Throughout the supply before, during, and after delivery, the brain is highly sensitive to cerebral ischemia during labor and after birth. Cerebral edema is particularly sensitive. Finally, during treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
