Your child has been growing up well till the 18th or 20th month after birth. There were no symptoms of any mental or physical deficiency. The growth was normal. However, thereafter something went wrong and symptoms of unusualness were showing in the behavior of the child. After a prolonged check up running quite a few days, the treating physician arrives at the conclusion that your child is affected with Cerebral Palsy.
If CP is a disease, then why it took so long for the treating physician to diagnose the same? It is because of the fact that till date has not been able to come up with a regular cerebral set Palsy diagnosis that could provide them with immediate information on the state of the disease as well as the patient. It is well known to all that CP is not curable. The only possible treatment is providing some therapies and if necessary surgical operation to do away with the ill effects of the CP.
Despite all the research, analysis and experiments made in this regard, medical scientists are still failing to explain the causes of Cerebral Palsy. If you ask what is Cerebral Palsy then most probably you will get the answer that it is yet to be defined. Till date over 80% of the reasons of Cerebral Palsy remains undiscovered and the strangest thing of all is that even in cases where there are all reasons for a child being attacked with CP, he or she may not be attacked at all.
It is rightly said that Cerebral Palsy is a physician’s dilemma.
