What Are The Risk Factors for Cerebral Palsy?

Premature birth and the mother's health problems during pregnancy are risk factors for cerebral palsy. These elements may result in irreversible brain or nerve damage that causes cerebral palsy. Being subjected to one or more of these risk factors doesnu2019t always indicate the child will be diagnosed with CP. Similarly, even if a child has no known risk factors, cerebral palsy can still strike during infancy. Parents can take preventive measures before, during, and after birth if they are aware of the factors that could place their child at risk for cerebral palsy.
