Birth Injury

Cerebral Palsy Causes

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to pinpoint the cause of cerebral palsy. There is no combination of factors that always results in a disabled child. But when it results from a birth injury, an Alabama birth injury lawyer at Cory Watson can investigate to find what went wrong.

In general, cerebral palsy is a condition caused by restricted or delayed oxygen flow to the brain in an unborn or newborn baby. Severity depends upon the section of brain affected. Specifically, the damage results from inadequate blood flow to the brain and/or inadequate concentrations of oxygen in brain tissue. Other, less common factors that can contribute to brain damage leading to cerebral palsy may be unusual viruses, mother-child blood type conflict, or accidental head trauma.

Cerebral palsy is sometimes not preventable. However, mistreatment or poor diagnosis of pregnancy complications, or mishandling of the baby during birth, are often contributing factors that should have been prevented.
