Manifestations of neonatal cerebral palsy

Manifestations of neonatal cerebral palsy

The performance of neonatal cerebral palsy, every baby is the heart of the mother, but the baby born needs to be taken care of. Every mother should have certain baby care knowledge when taking care of the baby, because this can better take care of the baby. The following are the manifestations of neonatal cerebral palsy.

Manifestations of neonatal cerebral palsy 1 If children with cerebral palsy are in the neonatal period, they will mainly have symptoms of breast-feeding difficulties, such as the child will not suck or suck weakly after birth, the whole body will always be soft, and they will always feel tired, and they will always be unusually quiet and rarely cry, but they will often have some strange postures, such as adduction of upper limbs, internal rotation, hand clenched fists and so on.

However, if children with cerebral palsy are around three months old, they are mainly not interested in all kinds of new things, their expressions are always dull and inflexible, and they will not respond to being teased. Sometimes, their bodies will gradually harden, and there will be a slight posture of angle inversion or lower limbs crossing, and the posture of the whole body is extremely asymmetrical.

However, if the baby with cerebral palsy is about ten months old, it will show that his mouth, eyes, hands and feet are very uncoordinated, and he will soon let go of things, and often he will not turn over or sit after six months. He will not stand up after ten months, always tiptoe on the ground, and will not step after twelve months. He often has the habit of eating his hands and drooling, and his body is always uncoordinated.

These are all symptoms of newborns with cerebral palsy. It can be seen from these contents that children with cerebral palsy before one year old are easy to identify. Therefore, parents should pay special attention during this period. Once you find that your child has these symptoms, you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Only in this way can we seize the best treatment opportunity and achieve good therapeutic effect after treatment.

Manifestation 2 of neonatal cerebral palsy is especially common in neonatal period. It is a brain disease with complex etiology, which affects the development and growth of newborns after onset, and will lead to mental retardation, decreased muscle tone and other manifestations. As a treasure mother, we should pay attention to the brain health of newborns around us, and have a deep understanding of cerebral palsy, master the following four symptoms in life, and seek medical advice in time once the disease occurs.

1, breast-feeding difficulties

The appearance of cerebral palsy will make it difficult for newborns to breastfeed. When Ma Bao's nipple or finger touches the newborn's mouth and lips, the sucking emission will weaken or disappear. In severe cases, it will not suck, and even lead to breast rejection or sucking weakness. Newborns are extremely unfavorable to growth and development because they can't get enough milk, are malnourished or don't gain weight

2. Cry weakly or continuously

Newborns with cerebral palsy are often quieter than normal newborns when they are born, and crying is particularly weak when they cry.

3. Less physical activity

Most newborns with cerebral palsy can move their limbs after birth, but the voluntary movement is obviously reduced, and in severe cases, there will be weakness.

4, muscle tension is low or enhanced.

Cerebral palsy can easily lead to abnormal muscle tone in newborns. After onset, the whole body muscles are relaxed and accompanied by muscle stiffness. If the muscle tension is abnormal, the newborn's head leans to one side, accompanied by extension of both lower limbs and adduction of upper limbs.

It can be seen that the harm caused by neonatal cerebral palsy is more serious and should be treated immediately after the onset. Therefore, the motor function should be improved in time, and physical therapy, rehabilitation training and drugs can be selected according to the newborn's situation. If the newborn meets the standard of surgical treatment, surgical treatment should be considered and postoperative nursing should be strengthened.

These are the four major symptoms of neonatal cerebral palsy, which not only bring harm to the brain health of newborns, but also threaten their lives in severe cases. Remind all treasure mothers that it is necessary to thoroughly understand the condition, and it is not appropriate to delay the time of seeing a doctor when the newborn has the above symptoms. In addition, we should create a comfortable living environment for newborns and give them careful care.

Neonatal cerebral palsy is 3 1, which is backward in development.

Generally speaking, children with cerebral palsy can't laugh, look up, cry or hold their fingers for 2 ~ 3 months. Will not turn over for 4 ~ 5 months; I can't sit for eight months. I can't even grab, hold or put my hand to my mouth. In addition, intellectual development lags behind that of normal children of the same age. Fist-making: Generally, a baby can make a fist without opening it within 3 months after birth. If the thumb is adducted after 4 months, if the hand is not open, cerebral palsy should be suspected.

2. Abnormal posture

Children with cerebral palsy are often characterized by general weakness, weakness or tightness of limbs, easy shock when hit, little or too much movement, inability to breastfeed, frequent coughing, choking, spitting, crying weakness or screaming.

3, easy to cry and unstable sleep

Newborns or 3-month-old babies are prone to panic, crying, breast aversion, sleep difficulties and other symptoms. Early feeding, eating and chewing, drinking and swallowing difficulties, as well as salivation and respiratory disorders. The sensory threshold is low, which shows that it is easy to be alarmed by noise or body position changes, and Moro reflex increases with crying.

Due to the influence of gait reflex, normal babies can see the interactive gait of their feet when they stand upright. At the age of 3 months, although it can fade for a period of time, if you still can't stand up or step on it after 3 months, you will suspect that it is cerebral palsy in children.

What is cerebral palsy?

What we commonly call cerebral palsy is medically called cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy in children is a neurological disorder syndrome that refers to non-progressive brain injury before birth, at birth and within one month after birth, starting from the immature stage of brain development, with posture and motor dysfunction as the main reason. The injury of cerebral palsy in children is irreversible.

Children with cerebral palsy usually occur in infancy, that is, in infancy, we can judge cerebral palsy patients according to some symptoms. The most obvious symptom of these cerebral palsy patients is that the baby seldom cries and moves soon after birth, and the crying is very low and weak, which makes him too quiet, or on the contrary, the baby loves to cry, gets angry easily, and jumps over his feet repeatedly. Parents of children with these symptoms should pay more attention.

The diagnosis of cerebral palsy in children should meet the following conditions: (1) There are symptoms of developmental retardation or dyskinesia in infancy; It is necessary to exclude the central paralysis caused by various metabolic diseases or degenerative diseases and the temporary developmental delay of normal children.
