Question

Can pediatric cerebral palsy be cured? I’m worried about my child getting this disease. Many children seem to get this disease now. The mother had no issues during the check-up. Why does the baby get this disease? I hope you can provide some information so I can take early precautions. Does pediatric cerebral palsy have a genetic component?

Answer

Pediatric cerebral palsy is a non-progressive condition that can be improved and developed through active treatment. In most cases, cerebral palsy does not inherit to offspring unless there is a family history of spasmodic paraplegia in the parents. However, the occurrence of cerebral palsy is related to various factors, including infections during pregnancy, maternal diseases, neonatal asphyxia, and neonatal jaundice, among others. Therefore, it is recommended to seek active treatment in the hospital as early as possible.
