Symptoms of severe cerebral palsy

Severe cerebral palsy is a very serious condition. From the perspective of children's cerebral palsy, it can be divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe. On the one hand, it is very difficult to treat. On the other hand, the child may not be able to take care of himself. As a parent, it is even more important to discover the child's condition in time and provide timely and good treatment. After all, severe cerebral palsy will cause greater harm to the child's future life and will have a greater impact on the parents.

Severe cerebral palsy symptoms

1. Limb disability: The body of patients with severe cerebral palsy becomes very soft, and the ability of autonomous movement is reduced, resulting in the inability to sit or turn over normally. This symptom is the more obvious one among the symptoms of cerebral palsy.

2. Behavioral disorders: Behavioral disorders caused by cerebral palsy are mainly manifested as inattention, loneliness and lack of sociability, and some even exhibit self-harming behaviors.

3. Lack of interest in new things, fear of contact with strangers, and very shy.

4. Abnormal emotions: manifested as mood swings, irritability, willfulness, etc., expressing dissatisfaction and wishes through crying and making a fuss.

5. Intellectual disability: Most cerebral palsy patients have intellectual disability, and their intelligence is significantly lower than that of other children of the same age. A small number of patients have extraordinary talents in music, calculation, painting, etc.

Cerebral palsy is different from other diseases, especially severe cerebral palsy, so the most advanced methods should be chosen. Before that, it is very important to understand the symptoms of severe cerebral palsy so that timely treatment and care can be taken. I hope these parents can see their children recover and grow up healthily as soon as possible.

How long can a child with severe cerebral palsy live?

Cerebral palsy occurs due to non-progressive brain damage, which causes disorders in the patient's limb function and intelligence. Many parents think that this disease is a one-time disease and that the condition will become more and more serious as the child with cerebral palsy grows up. However, the situation is often the opposite. If the child with cerebral palsy does not receive effective treatment in the early stages, the child's symptoms will become more and more obvious. This also emphasizes the importance of early intervention for children with cerebral palsy.

Parents don’t have to worry about the life span of children with cerebral palsy, as they will be the same as normal children. However, since cerebral palsy can cause problems in a child's intellectual development, such children will not feel cold, heat, pain, etc. very clearly or will not react at all. This makes the child particularly vulnerable to traumatic injuries. If this happens, the life expectancy of a child with cerebral palsy is likely to be shorter than that of a normal person. Therefore, we must remind parents of children with cerebral palsy that they must take special care to protect their children so that they can avoid being harmed by various external factors.
