Question
I have a colleague who got married late with his wife. Recently, they just had a baby boy, who is very cute. However, the child has been diagnosed with pediatric cerebral palsy. The child seems rather slow and has visited many hospitals, but nothing has helped. How should this condition be treated?
Answer
Pediatric cerebral palsy is a central nervous system motor disorder caused by various brain injuries (such as hypoxia and ischemia) within the first year of life, characterized by motor impairment or abnormal posture. Children often suffer from seizures and symptoms such as intellectual and visual impairments. Due to the varying degrees and locations of injury, the manifestations of children can differ. Therefore, detailed treatment is necessary to evaluate the condition and develop personalized treatment plans. Moderate neurological nutritional medication treatment for children under 3 years old, timely recovery, and timely surgical intervention for children with cerebral palsy aged 3-6 years are crucial for good prognosis, especially for the most common spastic form.
