Causes & Types of Cerebral Palsy

Research indicates that nearly 10,000 infants are diagnosed with cerebral palsy each year. This staggering number may be greater in actuality, as a proper diagnosis may not be made for a few years after birth. When caused by medical malpractice, cerebral palsy can result from many mistakes, including a lack of oxygen to the baby's brain and birth trauma.

It is important to determine the root of these medical mistakes. Whether a doctor failed to appropriately monitor fetal heart rate during labor or neglected to identify a prolapsed umbilical cord, those responsible must be held accountable for their negligence.

There are many different types of cerebral palsy, each ranging in severity, including:

  • Spastic cerebral palsy: Makes up the majority of most diagnoses and is characterized by stiffness and difficulty moving. Patients suffering from spastic cerebral palsy struggle to change positions.
  • Athetoid cerebral palsy: Roughly 10 percent of cerebral palsy cases are attributed to this type. Symptoms include involuntary movement, slurred speech, and low muscle tone.
  • Ataxic cerebral palsy: Also accounts for around 10 percent of cerebral palsy cases. Ataxic cerebral palsy patients struggle with vision, balance, and muscle movements.

No doctor or health professional should get away with mistakes made during the birth of a child. Get in touch with our Weston cerebral palsy attorney to ensure that this doesn't happen.
