Learn About Mild Cerebral Palsy

Mild cerebral palsy is sometimes difficult to diagnose since the symptoms tend to be subtle. In fact, many children with mild cerebral palsy may only experience an awkward gait (as a result of walking on tiptoes, for instance) or slight limb impairment. Oftentimes, mild cerebral palsy requires little or no treatment and children are able to live relatively normal lives.

What Causes Mild Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy has a main cause which is brain injuries during prenatal or early development. Mild cerebral palsy children have brain damage but it is typically not so extensive and this is why the symptoms are normally less serious. Nevertheless, even mild cerebral palsy cases, the damages cannot be reversed.

There are many ways brain injury can be sustained, including as a result of:

• Inadequate oxygen to the brain
• Birth injury or trauma
• Fetal infections or severe infections in the first year or so after birth
• Severe jaundice

Nevertheless, the majority of cases of cerebral palsy are due to unknown causes or a number of different causes.

Diagnosing & Treating Mild Cerebral Palsy

Diagnosing mild cerebral palsy may be a challenge if the childs symptoms are particularly subtle, but symptoms may include:

• Slight developmental delays
• Physical difficulties involving the use of one or more limbs
• Walking on tiptoes
• Balance or coordination issues

Parents who recognize any unusual symptoms in their child should always see a physician for a proper diagnosis. A number of tests are relied upon by doctors to diagnose cerebral palsy such as EEG, MRI, CT scans and some reflex tests.

Mild cerebral palsy treatment usually involves physical therapy or orthopedic instruments for example boots to help in walking. More treatments may be needed depending on the specific issues of the child.

Dealing with Mild Cerebral Palsy

Though mild cerebral palsy does not result in severe disability, the condition can be frustrating for children and their families. Self esteem issues that are related to a child’s condition can arise and parents are advise to respond with sensitivity and support.

Additionally, financial assistance is offered to children with severe cases of cerebral palsy, those with mild cerebral palsy may not qualify so families may be overwhelmed with stress. It is important to know if the condition of the child was caused by a medical mistake that could have been prevented, families may be able to seek compensation from the party responsible.
