Question

What Are the Common Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy in Children?

Answer

  1. Weakness and a reduction in spontaneous movement, indicative of hypotonia, can be observed within a month. If these persist for less than four months, it may be diagnosed as severe brain damage, intellectual disability, or a muscle system disorder.
  2. If a child cannot produce laughter by two months of age or does not laugh aloud by four months, it may indicate intellectual disability.
  3. At around 3 to 4 months old, if a baby exhibits body inversion, it is typically a sign of extrapyramidal system damage.
