Question
When a child is born with issues, showing differences from other children, often crying loudly, difficult to soothe, and tightly holding hands, a doctor diagnoses it as cerebral palsy. How much does it cost to treat pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
The cost of treating pediatric cerebral palsy varies depending on the situation. Common prenatal factors include genetic diseases, infections, and brain development anomalies; perinatal factors may be the cause of cerebral palsy in premature infants; and the causes of spastic pediatric cerebral palsy include encephalitis, trauma, and hypoxia. After the acute stage of encephalitis, motor function impairments may gradually worsen, potentially affecting motor skills long-term.
