Question
My baby is a premature infant, delivered two months early due to oxygen deficiency in the womb. Now, almost a year old, she still cannot lift her head and her reactions are very slow. The result is pediatric cerebral palsy. Why does it cause pediatric cerebral palsy? What are the causes of pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Causes of Pediatric Cerebral Palsy: 1, Severe neonatal jaundice leading to bilirubin encephalopathy, which is also a cause of pediatric cerebral palsy. Other causes include neonatal infections and brain tissue damage. 2, Various abnormal conditions during pregnancy in the mother may be the cause of pediatric cerebral palsy, such as fetal brain malformations and multiple pregnancies. The incidence rate of twins is six times higher than that of singletons with cerebral palsy. 3, Exposure to certain radiations during pregnancy by the mother or the use of antibiotics and other medications with side effects that can cause abnormal brain development in children are causes of pediatric cerebral palsy. 4, Birth asphyxia, birth injuries, and neonatal brain hemorrhage are also causes of pediatric cerebral palsy.
