No abnormalities were detected during fetal monitoring; however, the newborn exhibited symptoms of cerebral palsy. How is cerebral palsy treated when it occurs despite apparently normal fetal monitoring?

It is typically not curable. Currently, there is no definitive cure; treatment options are limited to medications, surgical interventions, reduction of muscle spasticity, improvement of motor function, correction of abnormal postures, facilitation of recovery and development across various bodily systems, and reduction of functional impairments. Rehabilitation therapy is currently the primary treatment approach for cerebral palsy. Early detection and prompt initiation of treatment are essential.
