Patient's question:
What is cerebral palsy in childrenDoctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy in children is caused by hypoxia in the baby during pregnancy or at birth, leading to brain damage. Early treatment is needed to promote the growth and development of brain cells. Cerebral palsy is also a syndrome characterized by limb movement disorders and abnormal postures, resulting from damage during the immature stage of brain development from before birth to the early postnatal period. It is a non-progressive central nervous system injury and can be accompanied by intellectual, hearing, vision, and language impairments.
