Cerebral Palsy Causes and Effects
Generally, Cerebral Palsy can be caused by birth injuries that damage the brain and in some instangces deprive the brain of oxygen during the birthing process whether it be a normal vaginal birth, a Cesearean Section Birth, or a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC).
Medical professionals often look towards the risk factors present when a case of Ataxic Cerebral Palsy, Athetoid Cerebral Palsy or Spastic Cerebral Palsy occurs when determining the cause of a childs Cerebral Palsy.
Some Cerebral Palsy Risk Factors include the following: premature birth, low birth weight, inability of the placenta to provide the developing fetus with sufficient oxygen and nutrients, lack of growth during intra-uterine life, RH or A-B-O blood type incompatibility between the mother and infant, prolonged loss of oxygen during the birthing process.
A risk factor is not a cause; it is a variable which, when present, increases the chance of something occurring -- in this case, cerebral palsy. Just because a risk factor is present does not mean cerebral palsy WILL occur; nor does the absence of a risk factor mean that cerebral palsy will NOT occur. If a risk factor is present, it serves to alert parents and physicians to be even more observant to the infant's development.
