Question
What causes pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
The causes of cerebral palsy include pre-pregnancy and delivery-related factors, such as congenital brain developmental abnormalities, choking due to aspiration, and other reasons. The causes of pediatric cerebral palsy can be summarized as follows: parental smoking, drug abuse, substance use, maternal mental illness, diabetes during pregnancy, vaginal bleeding, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, placenta previa, threatened miscarriage, or the use of birth control pills, fertility treatment medications, and pregnancy maintenance drugs. The key to treating pediatric cerebral palsy lies in early detection and treatment. It is primarily caused by brain hypoxia and edema in the neonatal period, leading to the damage and abscess of brain nerve cells. It is important to identify specific causes and actively adopt various methods for treating brain cells, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
