What Are the Causes of Cerebral Palsy in Children?
Disease description:
Today, I visited my aunt’s home to play. Her child is already one year old but still cannot sit up. I suspect this may be due to cerebral palsy. What are the causes of cerebral palsy in children?

Dr. Xie Zixing
The primary causes of cerebral palsy in children include the following:
1. Maternal exposure to toxic substances during pregnancy, which may impair fetal development.
2. Unhealthy lifestyle habits during pregnancy, such as frequent smoking or alcohol consumption.
3. Difficult labor, leading to severe injury to the fetal cranial tissues.
If cerebral palsy is suspected, close monitoring of the child’s condition is strongly recommended.
