Common causes of cerebral palsy include prematurity, low birth weight, intrauterine hypoxia, asphyxia, and severe jaundice. However, most of them are not clear. Some have multiple causes and some have none of the above mentioned causes, but still develop cerebral palsy. It is thought that some are genetically susceptible, that is, certain genes are induced by some factors that predispose to cerebral palsy, which is not very clear at this time. So, is a child without high risk factors necessarily normal? No. There is a possibility that the child may have developmental problems or even cerebral palsy. It is important to have regular medical checkups for your child at the hospital after birth so that doctors can detect early abnormalities and alert parents to pay attention or intervene to avoid missing the time for treatment.
