Question
What are the causes of pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
The causes of pediatric cerebral palsy generally include prenatal and perinatal factors. Prenatal factors are the most common, including genetic transmission across generations and chromosomal diseases, congenital infections, brain developmental malformations or dysplasia, fetal brain ischemia and hypoxia, etc. Perinatal factors refer to brain damage occurring during labor and within one week after birth, including brain edema, neonatal shock, intracranial hemorrhage, sepsis, or central nervous system infection, and ischemic hypoxic encephalopathy. Children with cerebral palsy need to be detected early and treated early.
