Question

What Are the Clinical Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy in Children?

Answer

Cerebral palsy is a condition that arises from brain damage at birth, often caused by premature birth, asphyxia, or high bilirubin levels. Approximately 70% of cerebral palsy patients are spastic, and their intelligence is similar to that of normal children. With regular treatment, issues with abnormal gait can be stabilized in these children. Only a very small number of cerebral palsy patients may experience conditions such as epilepsy or intellectual disabilities. Parents need to care for these children in various aspects, including psychological and physical attention. For children with cerebral palsy, the most important attitude is not to give up or abandon them.
