Cerebral Palsy causes many different problems in the development of a child. It can cause weak muscles, mental retardation, seizures, muscle spasms, speech problems and impediments, difficulty swallowing due to poor muscle control and other symptoms associated with a lack of coordination and control of body movements. There is no cure for Cerebral Palsy.
Cerebral Palsy can be caused by damage to the brain during the early stages of fetal development. However, a large portion of children diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy develop the condition as a direct result of injuries sustained during the childbirth process. For example, a delayed delivery and seizures during the first 48 hours of life can limit the oxygen flow to the brain, resulting in this condition. In some cases, these injuries are caused by mistakes made by health care professionals.
