Question

What are the common symptoms of children with cerebral palsy? My child has not yet been able to lift his head, roll over, or sit up, and our family is very anxious. What are the symptoms of cerebral palsy?

Answer

The symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy vary by stage: infants aged 1-3 months may show signs such as thumb inward flexion, clenched fists, lack of eye following, and unstable head; early signs at 4-5 months may include dull eyes, failure to roll over, stiff body movements, and crossed legs.
