Types & Causes of Cerebral Palsy Disorder

Cerebral palsy is a term which indicates permanent neurological diseases which affect the group muscles which control  movement of body, body posture, muscle coordination and speech in children. Generally, this disease or condition occurs due to some damages in brain during birth and childhood time.   

Concerned a child with this disorder have difficulties, maintain a normal life as he or she, has not control over their motor skills depending on the extent of the damage on the specific area of the brain. Permanent brain damage, goes to a child during pregnancy or at birth severely affect the child, causing great loss of many skills, which carried out essential for the correct functioning body to human activities. The decline in the growth of the brain the problem of communication between the brain and body. So, this is one of the main reasons for the so-called cerebral palsy.

There are 4 types of cerebral palsy:

1. Spastic cerebral palsy

Spastic cerebral palsy is characterized by muscle rigidity and difficult movements. Is the most common form of cerebral palsy, impact on 70 to 80% of patients.

2. Athetoid cerebral palsy

It is characterized by muscle involuntary and uncontrolled movement, including tacking or slow movements. This disease affects about 10% to 20% of patients.

3. Ataxic cerebral palsy

It is characterized by disturbed sense of balance and depth performance. The disease affects about 5% to 10% of patients.

4. Mix cerebral palsy

It is characterized by a combination of the above forms of cerebral palsy. However, the most common form of the mixture can a combination of spastic and Athetoid characteristics.

Here are some causes of the cerebral palsy disorder:

• Consumption of alcohol and toxic chemicals during pregnancy
• Genetic diseases
• Infections during pregnancy or childbirth
• RH incompatibility
• Low birth weight and preterm labour
• Malnutrition
• The mother's illness
• Multiple pregnancies
• Asphyxia and hypoxia
• Jaundice, encephalitis, epilepsy, or accidents
• Many other causes.
• It is advisable that parents of children, their children to brain take physics, specialized doctors in this area. There are a number of ways to help children with the disease.

Causes of cerebral palsy problem in children

Cerebral palsy is condition which occurs due to several reason. In 70 to 80 percent of case cerebral palsy children affected cp problem before birth. This problem in children prevent the normal development of child brain. So, the actual causes of cerebral palsy is difficult to identify.  There six main causes of cerebral palsy which identify mostly by doctors.  

In first case it affects by infection during pregnancy time. There are some  many infection which acquire from mother to children. Viral infection and german measles some time brings cerebral palsy problem. It involves by the placental membranes.   In second case lack of oxygen reaching to infant is also causes cp problem in children during pregnancy. This has been the most common cause of cerebral palsy, although it represents only to less than 10% of reported cases. This happens when the placenta malfunctions, so that is leading to an interruption of the supply of oxygen to the fetus.  Preterm infants are also more prone to cerebral palsy. It is 30 times more likely to develop cerebral palsy in comparison to normal babies. If the bleeding in the brain in premature babies developed, destruction of the nerves which carry the oxygen can occur and can develop finally cerebral palsy.

Cerebral palsy can also be caused by an excessive loss of blood and lack of oxygen during birth. However, for less than 10% of the total number of cases of cerebral palsy this responsible.If the mother of the blood with the fetus is incompatible, causing also the cerebral palsy. A disease is called RH disease can cause severe jaundice and brain damage. This can be prevented, by injecting the mother with a blood product called immune globulin RH. coagulation in the mother or the fetus may increase the risk of acquiring of cerebral palsy also high10. Cerebral palsy can occur also after birth, when the child gets brain damage in the first two years of life. Such injuries include brain infections, such as meningitis. Almost 10% of children with cerebral palsy, to acquire the disease after birth.
