Question

Premature infants, born prematurely due to hypoxia in the womb and now one year old, have yet to learn to lift their heads and are slow in responding. They have been diagnosed with pediatric cerebral palsy. What are the causes of pediatric cerebral palsy?

Answer

Pediatric cerebral palsy is primarily caused by immature brain nerve damage due to various factors before and after birth, with the main Sequelae manifesting as motor disorders and postural abnormalities. The main causes include difficult labor, asphyxia, hypoxia, premature birth, jaundice, and so on. If traced back to prenatal factors, it is necessary to consider whether the pregnant woman has been exposed to certain contraindications, X-ray radiation, or viral infections during normal and early pregnancy. To assess the functional disabilities of children with cerebral palsy, it is important to develop training programs that fit the child’s characteristics and provide corresponding training facilities.
