What are the main symptoms of children with cerebral palsy?

The performance of children with cerebral palsy is not very obvious in the early stage, so parents must pay attention to the performance of children with cerebral palsy, and once the problem is found, they should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Manifestations of children with cerebral palsy:

1.Poor weight gain, weakness in lactation.

2.Unresponsiveness and unresponsiveness to name are early manifestations of mental retardation, which are generally considered to be unresponsive at 4 months and unresponsive to name at 6 months, and are considered to be diagnosed as mental retardation.

3.Fixed posture is often caused by abnormal muscle tone due to brain injury, such as angular arch reflexion, frog position, inverted U-shaped posture, etc. It can be seen in the first month of life.

4.Not smiling: If you can't smile for 2 months and can't laugh out loud for 4 months, mental retardation is diagnosed.

5.Hand clenched fist: if the thumb is not open after 4 months, or if the thumb is adducted, especially if one of the upper limbs is present, it is important to be diagnostic.

6.Inability to reach for objects: If you are unable to reach for 4-5 months, you may be diagnosed with mental retardation or cerebral palsy.

7.Strabismus: Strabismus and poor eye movements in infants aged 3 to 4 months may indicate the presence of brain injury.

8.Abnormal head circumference: Head circumference is an objective indicator of brain morphological development, and children with brain injury often have abnormal head circumference.

9.Stiffness, a symptom of hypertonia, can be seen as early as a month. If it persists for more than 4 months, cerebral palsy can be diagnosed.

10.Weakness and decreased spontaneous movements, symptoms of hypotonia, can be seen as early as one month. If it persists for more than 4 months, severe brain injury, mental retardation, or muscular disorders can be diagnosed.

Hello, the symptoms of children with cerebral palsy are manifested as difficulty chewing, difficulty in language formation, slurred pronunciation, language expression disorders, and even aphasia. Children with cerebral palsy are generally shorter than normal and malnourished. They often have respiratory illnesses and are susceptible to respiratory infections.

If these symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

1. Movement disorders: The motor ability of children with cerebral palsy is lower than that of normal children of the same age, the motor self-control ability is poor, the degree of impairment is only the hands, the foot movements are slightly inflexible or clumsy, and the serious ones will not grasp things with both hands, and the feet will not walk, and some will not even turn over, will not sit up, will not stand, and will not chew and swallow normally.

2. Posture disorders: children with cerebral palsy have abnormal postures, poor posture stability, awkward posture during exercise or at rest, asymmetry on the left and right sides, and some serious cases often cannot be in an upright and neutral position like normal children, but are accustomed to biasing to one side, or swaying back and forth.

3. Intellectual disability: Among all children with cerebral palsy, about 1 4 children with normal intelligence, about 1 2 with mild or moderate mental deficiency, and about 1 4 with severe mental deficiency.

4. Language disorder: Most children with cerebral palsy may be accompanied by different degrees of language impairment, some of which are manifested as difficulty in language expression or language formation, some are manifested as slurred pronunciation or stuttering, and some are also manifested as aphasia, that is, they can understand other people's language, but they cannot speak themselves, especially the proportion of cerebral palsy with aphtosis in the hands.

5. Visual and auditory impairment: Many children with cerebral palsy are accompanied by myopia or strabismus, among which esotropia is more common, and hearing loss is more common with aphtotic cerebral palsy. Children with cerebral palsy often have difficulty discerning the rhythm of sounds.

6. Growth and development disorders: Some children with mild cerebral palsy can have basic or close to normal growth and development, but most children with cerebral palsy are shorter than normal children of the same age, and their growth and development are backward.

Cerebral palsy ** base of Nanjing Banshan Hospital of the Naval Command College informs you:

What are the manifestations of language impairment in children with cerebral palsy? According to experts from the Department of Cerebral Palsy of the Banshan Hospital of Nanjing Naval Command College, cerebral palsy, also known as pediatric cerebral palsy, is a common central nervous system disorder syndrome in childhood, with lesions in the brain, involving the limbs, and often accompanied by mental retardation, epilepsy, abnormal behavior, mental disorders and visual, auditory, and language disorders.

What are the symptoms of language impairment in children with cerebral palsy?

1. Dysphonia: In children with cerebral palsy, there are many symptoms of not being able to control breathing at will, especially in children with severe spasm and mixed type, who often have breathing disorders. In addition, some children do not control their breathing, and they will have difficulty vocalizing due to the changing position of their heads.

2. Resonance and dysarthria: children with cerebral palsy are paralyzed, and their respiratory muscles, vocalization, and arthritis muscles will also be impaired, showing a variety of dysarthria, and speech patterns. The cause of dysarthria in children with cerebral palsy is not only spasms of the palate, lips and soft palate, but also poor coordination of movements due to damage to the central nervous system.

In addition, physical movement disorders also cause dysarthria.

3. Language delay: Language delay is more common in children with cerebral palsy, which is related to the fact that most children with cerebral palsy live in a neglected environment, coupled with mental retardation.

4. Oral control disorder: In addition to speech disorders, children with cerebral palsy have oral and facial dysfunction, as well as masticatory disorders, swallowing disorders, poor oral closure ability, and frequent drooling.

Manifestations of cerebral palsy in children: developmental delay and abnormal posture, such as sitting, crawling, standing, walking, backward language intelligence and other symptoms, for smaller babies, can not grasp standing, can not do alone, can not turn over, dull eyes, can not reach out to grasp objects, etc. are all manifestations of cerebral palsy, it is recommended to take the child to the neurology department of the pediatric hospital for further investigation to avoid delaying the condition.

Chongqing Nanchuan Ruikang Hongren Hospital is more experienced, and the cost is not high, so it is recommended to have a face-to-face consultation first.

2. Visual impairment.

Studies have shown that 20%-50% of children with cerebral palsy will have visual impairments, the most common is esotropia, exotropia and other eye coordination disorders, followed by nystagmus and gaze disorders, as well as pursuit, upper vision paralysis, etc., myopia, farsightedness, amblyopia is also more, and the incidence of visual field defects is very high.

3. Intellectual disability.

About 25% of children have intelligence within the normal range, 50% have mild or moderate intellectual disability, and the rest have severe intellectual disability.

Fourth, language barrier.

Patients with cerebral palsy will have symptoms of late speech and mental retardation, in addition, there are 30%-70% of patients with varying degrees of language impairment, mainly manifested as unclear pronunciation, too fast and slow speech, etc.

5. Visual impairment.

Most patients with cerebral palsy will have hearing impairment, and the degree of hearing impairment varies, and children suspected of hearing impairment should go to the hospital in time**.

Because some novice parents do not know much about children with cerebral palsy, and the initial manifestations of cerebral palsy children are not very obvious, this leads to cerebral palsy children being easily ignored by parents. So, what are the symptoms of children with cerebral palsy?

Signs of cerebral palsy within 3 months: eyes do not follow what is in front of them, thumb adduction, hands clenched into fists, head unsteady, like to shake from side to side, neck can not be straightened, head is always tilted to one side, the whole body is stiff, etc.

Signs of cerebral palsy within 4-5 months: not paying attention to people, not having flexible eyes, dull expression, not responding when adults tease, body hardening, not turning over, body posture is always asymmetrical, etc.

Signs of cerebral palsy within 6-7 months: uncoordinated movements of the hands, mouth, and eyes, inability to grasp things for a long time, asymmetrical posture, unsteady sitting, dorsiflexion of the head, clenching fists with hands, and extending shoulders back.

Symptoms of cerebral palsy children within 8-12 months: unable to roll over, grasping things with one hand, clumsy hands and feet, unable to sit alone, standing on tiptoes, unable to walk, unable to stand with support, drooling is still severe, etc.

Children with cerebral palsy are mainly caused by poor brain development, which can be manifested as crying for no reason, uncoordinated limbs, movement disorders, difficulty swallowing, and frequent spitting up in the early stage. You can take your baby to a large pediatric hospital for treatment, and you can exercise your baby's ability to take care of himself.

The first choice is, of course, Chongqing Nanchuan Ruikang Hongren Hospital, whether it is technology, service, equipment and facilities, and after-sales are incomparable.

Cerebral palsy is a syndrome dominated by limb movement disorders and postural abnormalities, and is a non-progressive central nervous system damage that can be accompanied by intellectual, hearing, vision, language and other impairments.
