Question
I have a relative’s son who has cerebral palsy. The child seems dull and cannot respond appropriately to external stimuli, showing very slow reactions. I suspect it might be pediatric cerebral palsy, but I’m not sure what the cause is. I would like to ask what are the causes of pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy has many causes, which may include exposure to certain developmental-hampering substances during pregnancy, or due to congenital chromosomal abnormalities and other factors, as well as nutritional deficiencies later on. Additionally, some injuries, such as injuries and brain damage, can lead to pediatric cerebral palsy.
