What are the causes of mild cerebral palsy in children?

For many parents, the biggest worry during pregnancy is the health of their children, but cerebral palsy is a common disease among newborns, which has a relatively large impact on the child's life. However, due to the reasons during pregnancy and delivery, women are particularly prone to cerebral palsy. In order to better prevent such tragedies from happening, we must grasp the cause of the disease. Let's learn about the causes of mild cerebral palsy.

What are the causes of mild cerebral palsy?

(1) Trauma, pregnancy toxemia, diabetes and radiation exposure during pregnancy can affect the fetal brain development and cause permanent brain damage;

(2) Rubella or toxoplasmosis in the mother during early pregnancy affects the development of the fetus' central nervous system and causes disease;

(3) Premature infants and small-for-size infants are more likely to develop the disease at a younger age. It is related to the incomplete development of the nervous system of premature infants, and they are prone to bleeding and hypoxia;

(4) Post-term placenta degeneration and necrosis causes hypoxemia and fetal hypoxia.

Causes of labor

(1) Brain hypoxia: prolonged delivery. The use of anesthetics and sedatives before delivery can inhibit fetal breathing and cause fetal hypoxia. In addition, umbilical cord around the neck, early placental abruption, and previa can all cause fetal brain hypoxia.

(2) Intracranial hemorrhage: Birth trauma, premature delivery, dystocia and hemorrhagic diseases can all cause intracranial hemorrhage;

(3) Postpartum causes include kernicterus caused by neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, meningitis, encephalitis, or toxic encephalopathy caused by severe systemic infection, head trauma, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc., which can also be diagnosed as sequelae of a certain disease.

The above is an introduction to the causes of mild cerebral palsy. In order to better prevent the occurrence of such diseases, women must do a pre-pregnancy check before preparing for pregnancy. At the same time, they must observe fetal movements more in the late pregnancy and perform fetal heart monitoring regularly. In addition, the choice of delivery method should also be based on their physical condition and the fetal position should be based on the doctor's advice.
