Question
What are the causes of cerebral palsy in children?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a developmental disorder, and many factors can lead to a fetus developing cerebral palsy. In addition to genetic factors, other possible causes include fetal hypoxia, premature birth, and asphyxia at birth. The specific causes of cerebral palsy may vary from case to case, and it is recommended to undergo a systematic diagnosis to determine the cause of the child’s illness. For children diagnosed with cerebral palsy, parents should focus on functional rehabilitation and education to help the child maximize their remaining abilities, improve their physical, psychological, social, and professional levels, so that the child can manage independently, receive education, and engage in suitable work.
