Causes of infantile cerebral palsy?
ICP is usually the result of a combination of events that occur either in the womb, or during or after birth. By the second year of life, CP can be caused by damage to the still-developing brain.
One of the most common causes of ICP is premature birth - or rather, a series of events during pregnancy that lead to premature birth. Other risk factors that can cause cerebral palsy include:
• lack of oxygen in the womb or during birth
• infection of the mother in early pregnancy
• multiple births (twins, triplets, etc.)
• Thrombophilia
• low birth weight
• severe jaundice shortly after birth
