3rd degree contamination of amniotic fluid may lead to cerebral palsy in the fetus and the incidence of cerebral palsy varies from person to person. Cerebral palsy is known as cerebral palsy. It usually occurs when a developing fetus or infant suffers a non-progressive injury to the brain. Causes of cerebral palsy include abnormal perinatal brain development, intracranial hemorrhage, stroke, intraventricular hemorrhage, chorioamnionitis, and intrauterine growth retardation leading to brain injury. 3rd degree contamination of amniotic fluid indicates that the fetus may have severe intrauterine hypoxia and is at risk of asphyxia at any time. Prolonged period of time may lead to ischemic-hypoxic encephalopathy, pneumonia, which in turn may lead to cerebral palsy. If your newborn has cerebral palsy, it is recommended to treat it as early as possible. The earlier the treatment, the better the outcome.
