Causes and Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy
Although the exact mechanisms are not completely understood, cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the motor control centers of the brain. There are many ways in which the cerebrum can be damaged, including physical trauma and hypoxia of the brain. While it is sometimes unavoidable, cerebral palsy is very often associated with trauma during childbirth or in a child’s first years.
The most common causes of this damage include:
- Asphyxia caused by near drowning
- Asphyxia caused by choking on small objects or food
