Question
What are the early symptoms of cerebral palsy in children?
Answer
Hello! The early symptoms of pediatric epilepsy in newborns include stiffness or weakness in the body, lack of active movement, inability to breastfeed or weak suckling, seizures, easy to be startled, and weak or persistent crying. Cerebral palsy, also known as infantile cerebral palsy, is a clinical syndrome characterized by congenital motor dysfunction and postural abnormalities. Currently, the term congenital motor disorder syndrome is also used. The scope of cerebral palsy is broad and difficult to implement clinically. The Cerebral Palsy Symposium (1988) proposed defining cerebral palsy as a non-progressive brain injury syndrome from birth to one month after birth, mainly manifested as central motor impairment and postural abnormalities.
