Patient's question:
My height is not very tall, and I look very thin. Now I am pregnant. I had a detailed ultrasound examination, and the baby's weight was very large, making it difficult to diagnose and treat. However, my husband insists on me giving birth naturally. As a result, the child developed cerebral palsy due to a lack of amniotic fluid.What kind of help is needed: What are the factors that can lead to infantile cerebral palsy?
Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy, often referred to as CP, usually refers to a clinical diagnosis of non-progressive central motor disorders caused by various reasons leading to brain damage or developmental abnormalities from prenatal to one month after birth. It is characterized by abnormal posture and muscle tone, muscle weakness, involuntary movements, and ataxia. It is often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, communication, and behavioral impairments, as well as secondary skeletal and muscular abnormalities, and may include seizures.
