Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a disorder than can affect infants and young children. There are a number of causes associated with this disease, including congenital and acquired causes. Sometimes, the cause of cerebral palsy is unknown. The symptoms that could indicate cerebral palsy can vary, and these are usually first identified by the parents of the child, although in some cases it may be a doctor or even a teacher that first notices the possible signs.
Newborn babies can be born with a range of complications and malformations, and this can lead to the development of cerebral palsy. Some of these health problems include, but are not limited to kidney, heart, or spinal problems that are associated with brain malformation.
