Questions: Cerebral palsy developed at birth or in the neonatal period is usually related to an incident causing of the brain.
Transcript text: Cerebral palsy developed at birth or in the neonatal period is usually related to an incident causing $\qquad$ of the brain.
Solution
The answer is the first one: hypoxia.
Explanation for each option:
Hypoxia: This is correct. Cerebral palsy that develops at birth or in the neonatal period is often related to hypoxia, which is a deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the brain. This can occur due to complications during labor and delivery, such as umbilical cord problems, placental issues, or prolonged labor.
Paralysis: This is incorrect. Paralysis is a result of damage to the nervous system but is not a cause of cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy itself can lead to paralysis or motor function impairment.
Trauma: This is incorrect. While trauma can cause brain injury, cerebral palsy at birth or in the neonatal period is more commonly associated with hypoxia rather than direct trauma.
Compression: This is incorrect. Compression of the brain can cause damage, but in the context of cerebral palsy at birth or in the neonatal period, hypoxia is the more relevant cause.
Summary:
Cerebral palsy developed at birth or in the neonatal period is usually related to an incident causing hypoxia of the brain.
