Question
The neighbor’s child was born with cerebral palsy, which should be congenital, but their parents do not want to treat it, saying that this medical history is incurable. Actually, I think it should be treated actively. What complications can cerebral palsy have? Can you elaborate specifically?
Answer
Children with cerebral palsy often have hearing impairments, some are completely deaf, and some have decreased hearing. Children with spastic cerebral palsy are more likely to have hearing impairments, which are mainly caused by the sequelae of kernicterus: most children with cerebral palsy have epilepsy seizures. Because there are fixed lesions in the brain that can trigger epilepsy, especially in children with severe intellectual disabilities. Epilepsy not only hinders the recovery of cerebral palsy but also the repetitive seizures increase the risk of brain damage.
