Complications That May Accompany Pediatric Cerebral Palsy

Question

What complications may occur in pediatric cerebral palsy patients? Can you elaborate?

Common complications in pediatric cerebral palsy patients include:

Growth and development delays, with shorter stature than normal children and a higher risk of malnutrition.
Respiratory system diseases, with an increased susceptibility to respiratory infections.
Hearing impairments, with approximately 5% to 8% of patients suffering hearing loss due to kernicterus.
Vision impairments, with about 50% to 60% of patients potentially experiencing strabismus, amblyopia, blindness, or cataracts. Early detection and treatment significantly improve the recovery chances for pediatric cerebral palsy patients.
