Q

what are the risk factors for CP

A

maternal & prenatal (previous pregnancy loss, thyroid or seizure disorder, history of delivering a child with a severe health condition), gestational (excess of amniotic fluid, congenital malformations in the fetus, bleeding in the third trimester, multiple gestation), perinatal (prematurity, bacterial infection of the membranes surrounding the fetus, birth asphyxia) and postnatal (infections, intracranial hemorrhage, persistent pulmonary hypertension).

30
Q

is CP limited to only one side of body?

A

CP can affect the whole body or be limited primarily to one limb or side of the body. This depends on the severity of the child’s brain injury and the level of brain involvement
