Causes of cerebral palsy in children

During the baby's growth process, parents will understand and observe the baby's every move, and will be very nervous if they find something wrong in the slightest, especially if the baby's development is slower than other children. Because slow development of children can lead to cerebral palsy, it is natural for parents to worry when this happens. The following are some information about the causes and treatments of mild cerebral palsy in children.

Prenatal factors

(1) Abnormal brain development during the embryonic period, such as microcephaly, congenital hydrocephalus, megalencephaly, or anencephaly.

(2) Trauma, pregnancy toxemia, diabetes and radiation exposure to the mother during pregnancy can affect the fetal brain development and cause permanent brain damage.

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

(4) 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 in premature infants, and they are prone to bleeding and hypoxia.

(5) Post-term placental degeneration and necrosis can cause hypoxemia and fetal hypoxia.

Intrapartum causes

(1) Cerebral hypoxia: Prolonged delivery or 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 placental previa can all cause fetal brain hypoxia.

(2) Cerebral hemorrhage Birth trauma, premature delivery, difficult labor 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.

Spinal nerve balance reshaping

Simple spasticity, muscle tension above level 3; no obvious fixed contracture deformity or only mild deformity, cerebral palsy detection, conservative treatment, surgical treatment, postoperative rehabilitation; certain motor ability of spine and limbs before operation; normal or near normal intelligence to facilitate postoperative rehabilitation training; severe spasticity and stiffness that affect daily life, nursing and rehabilitation training.

Minimally invasive limb deformity correction

Simple spasticity, minimally invasive combined muscle balance surgery; patients with cerebral palsy with deformities such as valgus and valgus deformity of hands and feet, scissor-cross deformity, equinus, calf foot, claw foot, inward movement of forefoot, bilateral hip adduction deformity, flexion of hands, feet and knees, etc.

Selective posterior rhizotomy

Simple spasticity, muscle tension above level 3; no obvious fixed contracture deformity or only mild deformity, cerebral palsy detection, conservative treatment, surgical treatment, postoperative rehabilitation; certain motor ability of spine and limbs before operation; normal or near normal intelligence to facilitate postoperative rehabilitation training; severe spasticity and stiffness that affect daily life, nursing and rehabilitation training.

Selective posterior rhizotomy

Simple spasticity, muscle tension above level 3; no obvious fixed contracture deformity or only mild deformity, cerebral palsy detection, conservative treatment, surgical treatment, postoperative rehabilitation; certain motor ability of spine and limbs before operation; normal or near normal intelligence to facilitate postoperative rehabilitation training; severe spasticity and stiffness that affect daily life, nursing and rehabilitation training.

Neuro-factor repair therapy

Patients with cerebral palsy with various symptoms such as simple spasticity, spastic hemiplegia, spastic diplegia, spastic quadriplegia, involuntary movement type, ataxia type, etc.

The article introduces the causes and related treatments of cerebral palsy in children. There are many causes of cerebral palsy in children, including prenatal factors and postnatal factors. I hope mothers can remember the causes of mild cerebral palsy in children introduced in the article and prevent these causes from occurring in their lives.
