What diseases can cerebral palsy cause?

       Children with cerebral palsy are generally shorter than normal children in length, more so in severe cases, and have poor nutrition. They often have breathing disorders and are prone to respiratory infections, which affect their health and strength and hinder their physical and mental development. There are also chewing, sucking, swallowing disorders and salivation, all of which have a negative impact on the child and require symptomatic treatment.       According to the analysis of 6572 patients in 7 countries, almost half of them have low intelligence (IQ less than 70), l/4 of them have marginal intelligence (IQ between 70-89), and the remaining 1/4 have average intelligence (1Q 90-109) or above average intelligence (IQ higher than 110). .  3. Emotional and behavioral disorders Many children with cerebral palsy have hyperactivity, emotional instability, autistic (lonely) tendencies, motor limitations, difficulties in IQ determination, and poorer life practices than healthy children during the developmental period, which naturally affects mental development. When doing something, they are often easily frustrated or angry and easily give up and stop trying.       Abnormal actions in children with emotional disorders can include emotional instability due to environmental factors and perceptual impairments that make it difficult to control actions, contributing to the emotional instability of children with cerebral palsy. Therefore, the treatment of children with cerebral palsy should take comprehensive measures in many aspects in order to achieve the ideal requirements.  4.Learning disorders due to brain damage, visual, hearing, language and intellectual impairment, inattention, poor motivation to learn, often emotional, learning ability is affected. According to statistics in the United States, 85% of children with cerebral palsy over the age of 7 have reading difficulties, 93% have poor arithmetic, and only 25% are normal or excellent academically.  Children with cerebral palsy may also have abnormalities in sensation, movement, and emotion, such as tactile abnormalities that make it difficult to identify objects and grasp concepts to promote normal intellectual development; visual abnormalities in eye movements, narrowed visual fields, and visual impairment may also affect external perception and movement. Many children with cerebral palsy exhibit poor concentration and loose movements, which are related to organic brain defects and parenting attitudes.  Among the comorbidities of cerebral palsy with epilepsy, epilepsy is often notable for its various convulsions. Epilepsy not only hinders the healing of cerebral palsy, but repeated convulsions have an enhanced risk of brain damage. This is especially true in infancy with infantile spasms. If not taken seriously, there is a risk of death in children with cerebral palsy who develop convulsive epilepsy continuum. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the convulsions of children with cerebral palsy, and to give proper diagnosis and timely treatment.  Sensory impairment (1) perceptual and cognitive impairment; (2) eye and visual impairment; (3) hearing impairment.       The incidence of language disorders in children with cerebral palsy is 65%-95%, and the incidence is higher in children with tetraplegia, often preceded by difficulty in sucking, swallowing and chewing, and manifested as slurred pronunciation, difficulty in constructing speech, language expression disorder, and even aphasia.  Language disorders are common because of motor disorders of vocal and phonological organs; secondly, they are caused by motor disorders of limbs, hearing disorders, intelligence and living environment. Normal infants are subjected to exercises such as sucking, finger-sucking, and feeding of separated foods, and the early motor exercises of mouth, lips, tongue, and throat have prepared them for speaking and speech later. Therefore, parents must do early and appropriate training for their children with cerebral palsy. Language correction is an important item in comprehensive rehabilitation and can be assisted by a speech therapist.  8. Dental and Gum Feeder Problems Children are prone to dental and gum disease and are difficult to treat. One is due to the fact that there are actually many dental diseases, in addition to the fact that children rarely receive dental treatment because they are not easily cooperative and have abnormal movements and tension. The most common dental diseases in children with cerebral palsy are dental caries, as well as tooth heel growth, tooth service inflammation, tooth alignment and occlusal abnormalities due to the use of antitussive drugs.
