What symptoms may appear if a newborn has cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a comprehensive syndrome characterized by posture and motor function impairments, caused by non-progressive brain damage during the period when the brain is not fully matured within a month after birth. It is a common central nervous system disorder in childhood, with the lesion located in the brain, affecting the limbs, and often accompanied by symptoms such as intellectual disability, epilepsy, behavioral abnormalities, mental disorders, as well as visual, auditory, and language impairments. Treatment methods include oral or injectable brain nerve nutrition drugs, muscle relaxants, and blood circulation drugs, as well as long-term rehabilitation therapy. Currently, there is no definitive cure for cerebral palsy.
