Cerebral palsy is caused by restricted or delayed oxygen flow to the brain in the unborn or newborn baby. The severity of cerebral palsy in each child 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. Less common factors that can contribute to brain damage and cause cerebral palsy include unusual viruses, mother-child blood type conflict, or accidental head trauma. Unfortunately, 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.
