What Is Cerebral Palsy And How Does It Occur?
Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder often involving a lack of oxygen that leads to brain damage. Potential causes include:
- Oxygen deprivation (asphyxia)
- Failure to detect fetal distress
- Improper use of delivery tools
- Premature birth
- Infections
- Untreated jaundice
With proper medical care, doctors should be able to identify warning signs and potentially prevent severe harm.
