Question
Newborns exhibit abnormal behaviors such as less crying and laughing, weak suckling power, and dull eyesight, which then progress to unclear speech, unsteady gait, and delayed intellectual development. After hospital examination, they are diagnosed with cerebral palsy. What are the early symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy, also known as brain palsy, is a syndrome of motor and posture disorders caused by brain damage or injury before, during, or within one month after birth. This condition often accompanies epilepsy, intellectual disability, and language disorders. Currently, medical science cannot completely cure cerebral palsy, and treatment mainly aims to alleviate symptoms. The treatment process requires perseverance, with parents and doctors closely collaborating to develop training programs, assess training effects, and adjust accordingly under the guidance of doctors.
