Question
The child seems dull and cannot respond normally to external stimuli, with very slow reactions. There is a suspicion of pediatric cerebral palsy, but the cause is unknown.
Answer
The causes of pediatric cerebral palsy can be quite varied. It could be due to exposure to many substances affecting child development during pregnancy, or it could be due to congenital chromosomal abnormalities and other anomalies. Another possibility is late-stage malnutrition or injury that damages the brain, leading to pediatric cerebral palsy. Children with cerebral palsy should seek follow-up treatment at specialized hospitals for cerebral palsy.
