Causes of Cerebral Palsy

Different Causes of Cerebral Palsy
Most cases of cerebral palsy have unknown causes; in about 80% modern science can not figure out the cause. Some other causes are infection, metabolic disorders, trauma and the kind causes during labor and delivery. Only about 5-10% of cases of cerebral palsy occur during labor and delivery and obviously not all of these are a physician's or hospital's fault. Only a narrow, select few are actually caused by negligence.

The different causes of cerebral palsy that affect various parts of the body obviously affect the brain, and so weather it is due to infection, or trauma or lack of oxygen, or an unknown cause, they each affect a different part of the brain and that is what leads to the cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy can manifest in different ways and you may not know it until the child is older. That is the effects of cerebral palsy are present when the child is born, but as the child gets older and the voluntary movements come out, that is when you realize the full extent of the cerebral palsy. If an infection is the cause, it may be one sided versus the other side of the brain. If it was caused due to a lack of oxygen, it usually affects the total brain and will affect the upper and lower extremities.
