Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience tremors. How is cerebral palsy in children caused?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of childhood cerebral palsy are caused by brain development abnormalities. The reasons include both prenatal and postnatal factors. Prenatal factors may be related to the mother, such as poor lifestyle habits, smoking, or alcohol consumption. Additionally, the use of drugs that can affect fetal brain development during early pregnancy, brain edema, drowning, or lung infections after birth may also lead to cerebral palsy.
