My cousin just gave birth to a baby a few months ago. It didn't take long for the baby to feel a little different. When I went for a general examination, the doctor said that he had cerebral palsy. My cousin and her husband were very shocked. Now let's talk about how neonatal cerebral palsy is caused.

How is neonatal cerebral palsy caused

First, prenatal factors include the influence of parents' bad habits such as smoking and drinking, or some diseases such as diabetes, hypertension syndrome and excessive use of contraceptives are the causes of prenatal cerebral palsy. Cerebral hypoxia during childbirth, or high pregnancy or stillbirth history, abortion history and intrauterine infection are the causes of cerebral palsy.

Second: family history factors: family had cerebral palsy, mental retardation or congenital malformations, the risk of cerebral palsy doubled. Postnatal possible factors: neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, neonatal intracranial hemorrhage, persistent jaundice, neonatal central nervous system infection, etc. Perinatal possible factors: premature birth, low birth weight, breech delivery, forceps midwifery, cesarean section and various dystocia, asphyxia at birth, twins, umbilical cord around the neck, placenta previa, placental abruption, placental dysfunction, etc.

Third: the causes of neonatal cerebral palsy are as follows: all kinds of abnormalities during pregnancy may be the risk factors of cerebral palsy, such as fetal brain malformation and multiple pregnancy. Asphyxia at birth, birth injury and neonatal intracerebral hemorrhage are also one of the causes of cerebral palsy. Premature birth and low birth weight are the important causes of cerebral palsy. Neonatal severe jaundice, cause bilirubin encephalopathy, can also cause cerebral palsy. Others, such as cerebral palsy caused by neonatal infection and brain tissue injury.

matters needing attention

There are many reasons for neonatal cerebral palsy, such as the child's parents have bad habits, or have serious diseases, brain hypoxia during production, family history of cerebral palsy, premature birth and other factors can cause cerebral palsy, patients must first find the cause of disease, and then treat the cause.
