Question
My child was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, caused by premature birth and hypoxia.
Answer
Cerebral palsy refers to a central nervous system disorder characterized by motor impairments and postural abnormalities, which arise from brain damage or developmental defects during the period from before birth to one month after birth. This definition indicates that the cause of cerebral palsy occurs during the development of the brain, particularly within the timeframe from before birth to one month after birth; the resulting pathological changes are irreversible; and the main manifestation is central motor impairment.
