Question

A 40-day-old infant has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, showing abnormal behavior and developmental delays. The family is concerned about the possibility of treatment and seeks professional advice.

Answer

Once diagnosed, infant cerebral palsy is typically not curable. Current treatment methods focus on maximizing improvement through rehabilitation training. It’s worth noting that some individual differences in normal infants, delayed motor development, or mental retardation may be misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is crucial, and it is recommended to conduct a diagnosis of cerebral palsy after 1-2 years. Professional hospitals specializing in treating cerebral palsy can provide corresponding treatment plans.
