What causes cerebral palsy in children?

Premature babies are also a cause of cerebral palsy. Due to the improvement of medical standards, many children with a gestational age of only 28 weeks and weighing less than 1 kilogram have been rescued and survived. However, due to the young gestational age, the brain is very immature and brain damage is very likely to occur. If central movement disorders occur after the injury, cerebral palsy may develop.

Neonatal asphyxia is also a cause of cerebral palsy, especially severe asphyxia. Due to lack of oxygen, cerebral edema and intracranial hemorrhage can easily occur, causing brain tissue damage. Modern research has found that children with severe asphyxia already have brain damage before birth, and the brain damage makes it difficult for the children to be delivered smoothly. Therefore, the new view is that fetal brain damage leads to neonatal asphyxia, and asphyxia in turn aggravates neonatal brain damage.

Jaundice is a process that most children may experience after birth, but if it is not treated in time, bilirubin enters the central nervous system and accumulates especially in the basal ganglia, subthalamic nucleus, caudate nucleus and other parts of the brain, which may lead to kernicterus and intellectual disability or cerebral palsy, which is one of the causes of cerebral palsy.

Perinatal brain damage. Various perinatal factors such as intrauterine hypoxia, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy caused by birth asphyxia, cerebral hemorrhage, etc.

Congenital developmental disorders. Many cases of cerebral palsy are related to intrinsic defects of the fetus before birth. Various internal and external environmental factors, such as severe nutritional deficiencies in the early stages of pregnancy, including deficiencies in trace elements, infection, injury, radiation, etc., which lead to fetal brain malformations, are important factors leading to cerebral palsy.

The above is a detailed introduction to the causes of cerebral palsy in children. These are the causes of cerebral palsy in children. Therefore, when treating this type of disease, you must choose the correct method. However, when treating cerebral palsy in children, parents need to be patient, which will be of great help to the patient's recovery.
