Question
My baby was born prematurely and experienced oxygen deficiency, now almost 1 year old, still cannot lift his head, and is slow in response. After examination, the diagnosis was pediatric cerebral palsy. What are the causes of pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
The factors contributing to pediatric cerebral palsy include: genetic factors (family history of cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, or congenital malformations), prenatal factors (congenital malformations, genetic defects, intrauterine infection, brain tissue damage, fetal hypoxia, etc.), and birth factors (fetal hypoxia, neonatal asphyxia, etc.).
