summary

According to the survey, the incidence rate of cerebral palsy has been increasing in recent years. Once suffering from cerebral palsy, it will bring great pain to patients. At the same time, it will also bring a lot of inconvenience to the families of patients. So what are the causes of cerebral palsy? Let's talk about it.

What reason is cerebral palsy?

Cerebral palsy can be caused by prenatal, intrapartum and postpartum reasons. Prenatal refers to the period from pregnancy to delivery, intrapartum refers to the period from delivery to delivery, postpartum refers to the period from delivery to 2.5-3 years after delivery. Some infants have complete brain development, and myelination can reach the level of 8 years old. Some scholars believe that the period from delivery to 7 days after birth is at this stage, Most of cerebral palsy occurs in labor.

Congenital brain defects are often caused by rubella or other viral infection in the first three months of pregnancy. These children often have other congenital abnormalities at the same time, such as cataract, congenital heart defects (ventricular septal defect), deafness and unresponsiveness, and fetal polycythemia, Fetal anoxia mainly originates from placental rupture, placental infarction, maternal pneumonia or heart disease. Maternal drinking and taking drugs can increase the incidence rate of cerebral palsy. Maternal diabetes and thyroid dysfunction are also the causes of cerebral palsy. If a long child has cerebral palsy, it may be congenital, such as hydrocephalus and small head malformation. This is not a prenatal factor.

The most common cause of labor is preterm birth. If the birth weight is lower than 2268g, there is more chance of cerebral palsy. Other causes are usually due to improper use of forceps, dystocia or prolonged labor, resulting in trauma or hypoxia during delivery. Traction of the fetal neck during delivery can break the galen vein, leading to hemiplegia or quadriplegia. Local trauma can cause spastic hemiplegia, If the fetal head impacts on the sacral promontory during dystocia, hemiplegia may occur in the process of maternal convulsion.

matters needing attention

If the child suffers from cerebral palsy, it is likely that the child will be ridiculed by other children, which will cause great psychological problems for the child. Therefore, parents must pay attention to good prevention, so as to prevent the child from being troubled by this disease at birth.
