Question
What Are the Causes of Cerebral Palsy in Infants?
Answer
While prematurity and intrauterine growth restriction are not direct causes of cerebral palsy, they are important high-risk factors. Maternal intrauterine inflammation or chorioamnionitis, as a potential risk factor, has been increasingly recognized. Treatment methods include motor control training for activities such as the jaw, lips, tongue muscles, and soft palate, as well as cognitive and expressive ability training, based on the evaluations by doctors and speech therapists.
