Question
What are the causes of cerebral palsy? My brother and sister’s nephew was prematurely born due to an accident when he was eight months old. Unfortunately, he developed cerebral palsy as a result. He is now two and a half years old. I want to ask specialists where the cause lies?
Answer
The causes of cerebral palsy in premature infants include three main factors: intracranial hydrocephalus, preterm birth, and white matter damage; the underdeveloped fetus is more sensitive to brain ischemia during labor and postpartum; cerebral palsy is a result of persistent movement in many underdeveloped fetuses. Throughout the entire pregnancy, during pregnancy, and postpartum, the brain is very sensitive to brain ischemia during labor and postpartum.Brain edema is particularly sensitive. Lastly, during treatment, patients need to maintain a regulated diet, regular lifestyle, actively participate in physical exercise, adjust mental and physical health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to decreased resistance.
