The main symptoms of cerebral palsy in children include motor dysfunction, intellectual disability, and language disorders. Most affected children also experience epileptic seizures, and these symptoms typically begin during infancy, with varying degrees of severity. Severely affected infants may show muscle rigidity, difficulty feeding, and opisthotonus within a few days after birth, while most children are found to have varying degrees of paralysis and increased muscle tone several months after birth, often accompanied by visual impairments such as strabismus and amblyopia.
