Question
My aunt’s sister had a daughter. It was said that when the child was born, all checks were normal in terms of intelligence development. Now, it has gradually been found that the child is slower than other children in everything they do. Now, at 9 months old, the child cannot crawl, sit up, or make sounds. The examination says it is cerebral palsy.
Answer
There are many causes of cerebral palsy, including prenatal and perinatal factors. Prenatal factors may involve genetics, chromosomal diseases, infections, brain malformations, or developmental abnormalities. Perinatal factors may include brain injury, brain edema, and cerebral hemorrhage, which may lead to the occurrence of cerebral palsy.
