What is the cause of congenital dementia?

Cerebral degenerative diseases: some cortical and subcortical diseases can cause dementia. The common causes include Alzheimer's disease, pick's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, hepatolenticular degeneration, cortical striatum spinal cord joint degeneration, etc.

Metabolic diseases: some metabolic diseases affect brain function and cause dementia, such as myxedema, hyperparathyroidism or hypoparathyroidism, adrenocortical hyperfunction, hepatolenticular degeneration, uremia, chronic hepatic insufficiency, etc.

Intracranial infection: intracranial infection causes changes in brain parenchyma and brain function, leading to dementia, such as various encephalitis, neurosyphilis, various meningitis, kuru disease, etc. Intracranial space occupying lesions: tumor, subdural hematoma can cause structural and brain function changes, causing dementia.

matters needing attention

The incidence of chromosomal diseases is significantly higher in the children of pregnant women aged 35-40 years or above, and the chance of complications during pregnancy and childbirth is also increased, so that the chance of giving birth to children with mental retardation is correspondingly more. Therefore, it is best to avoid elderly pregnancy. If a woman over 35 years old is pregnant, prenatal diagnosis should be carried out in the early stage of pregnancy. If chromosomal abnormalities are found, the pregnancy should be terminated in time.
