Can babies with cerebral palsy chase objects with their eyes1

  There are many symptoms of cerebral palsy in babies, some of whom may exhibit behavioral abnormalities and intellectual disabilities, while others may have impaired vision, hearing, and language abilities. The ability of the eyes to track objects still depends on the severity of cerebral palsy. If cerebral palsy is mild, it is possible to track objects, but if it is severe, the eyes cannot rotate with the movement of objects.

  Cerebral palsy is believed to be the disease that every parent fears the most, and there are many factors that can cause cerebral palsy, including the following:

  1. Baby's brain lacks oxygen. Before the baby is born, if there has been hypoxia in the uterus or if the mother gave birth to a fetus with hypoxia and asphyxia, it may lead to cerebral palsy.

  2. Pregnant women's factors. Pregnant women with unhealthy lifestyle habits or chronic diseases during pregnancy can lead to cerebral palsy in their babies. In addition, if there are problems with the placenta, cerebral palsy can also occur.

  3. Delayed development. Some fetuses may experience developmental delays while developing in the mother's uterus, leading to incomplete brain development and increasing the risk of cerebral palsy in the baby.
