What are the main symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy?

  The symptoms of pediatric cerebral palsy include motor disorders, postural disorders, language disorders, visual and auditory disorders, growth disorders, dental development disorders, orofacial dysfunction, emotional and behavioral disorders, epilepsy, etc.  1. Motor disorders: The motor ability of children with cerebral palsy is lower than that of normal children of the same age, and the motor self-control ability is poor; the degree of disorder is mild, but the movement of hands and feet is slightly inflexible or clumsy; in severe cases, the hands will not grasp things, the feet will not walk, some will not even turn over, sit up, stand up, chew and swallow normally; 2. Poor postural stability, twisted posture during movement or at rest, asymmetry between the left and right sides, and in some severe cases, the head is often not in a vertical and central position as in normal children, but is used to leaning to one side or swaying back and forth from side to side; 3. 4. Language impairment: Most of the children with cerebral palsy may have different degrees of language impairment, some of them have difficulty in expressing or constructing language, some of them have difficulty in pronunciation or stuttering, and some of them have aphasia, that is, they can understand other people’s language but cannot speak by themselves. Many children with cerebral palsy have myopia or strabismus, with internal strabismus being the most common, and hearing loss is more common in children with tachycardia. Children with cerebral palsy often have difficulty in discriminating the rhythm of sound; 6. 8. Oral and facial dysfunction: Some children with cerebral palsy have obvious spasm or uncoordinated contraction of the facial muscles and tongue muscles. Many children with cerebral palsy, especially those with tardive dyskinesia, have stubborn and capricious personalities, with large mood swings, good feelings and irritability, some are even withdrawn and do not get along. Abnormal behaviors are: (1) compulsive behavior: forcing themselves to do a certain action; (2) self-injurious behavior: hitting themselves or banging their heads against the wall; (3) aggressive behavior: hitting others, but it is less common.  10. Epilepsy: About 39%-50% of children with cerebral palsy have epilepsy induced by fixed lesions in the brain, and the incidence of epilepsy is especially prominent in children with severe mental retardation.
