Neonatal risk factors for cerebral palsy

Author: , B.ABHINANDH, KRIPA LALVI, ROSHNI P R
Abstract: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is defined as a set of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, which causes activity restriction, and is ascribed to non-progressive disturbances that occur in the infant brain or developing fetal brain. The word “Cerebral” refers to the brain and “Palsy” signifies lack of control in muscles. The global prevalence of cerebral palsy is two to two and a half per thousand live births and is the second most common developmental infirmity in preterm infants. The focus of this article is to analyse the new writings that connect with various risk factors associated with Cerebral Palsy and classify the risk factors that relate with this disorder. . In childhood, cerebral palsy is one of the most familiar physical disability and is a lifelong condition that affects body movements and muscle coordination. Neonates are infants less than 28 days old, neonates born prematurely (birth which occurs before 37 weeks of gestational age) are at greater risk of death and disability. Periventricular leukomalacia and Intraventricular hemorrhage are the two main pathologies that increase the chances of CP. CP can be a serious neurological disability that often results in dysphagia, epilepsy and osteoporosis. CP is classified based upon the type of movement issues and body parts being affected. Preterm birth is considered as a major risk factor for cerebral palsy. The Literature search was conducted in Pub Med,Scopus indexed Journals. There is no cure for CP, hence various therapeutic methods have been used to manage CP to improve the quality of life.
