Did a medical mistake cause your child's cerebral palsy? Unfortunately, medical mistakes are the cause of thousands and thousands of cerebral palsy cases. Doctors and hospitals sometimes make mistakes during delivery. The following are just a few of the mistakes made during delivery that have caused children to be born with cerebral palsy:

• Leaving the child in the birth canal too long causing a lack of oxygen to the brain
• Failure to recognize and treat seizures following delivery
• Failure to detect a prolapsed cord
(the umbilical cord can wrap around the child's neck,cutting off oxygen to the brain)
• Excessive use of vacuum extraction
• Improper use of forceps
• Failure to perform a cesarean section in the presence of fetal distress
• Not responding to changes in the fetal heart rate
• Failure to plan a C-section
(a high birth weight infant could compromise normal, spontaneous, vaginal delivery)
• Failure to respond to the mothers changing conditions, such as high blood pressure or toxemia
• Failure to timely diagnose and treat jaundice

Cerebral palsy is a term used to describe a group of chronic conditions affecting body movements and muscle coordination. It is caused by damage to one or more specific areas of the brain, usually occurring during fetal development or infancy. It also can occur before, during or shortly following birth.

"Cerebral" refers to the brain and "Palsy" to a disorder of movement or posture. If someone has cerebral palsy it means that because of an injury to their brain (cerebral) they are not able to use some of the muscles in their body in the normal way (palsy). Children with cerebral palsy may not be able to walk, talk, eat or play in the same ways as most other children.

Cerebral palsy is neither progressive nor communicable. It is also not "curable" in the accepted sense, although education, therapy and applied technology can help persons with cerebral palsy lead productive lives. It is important to know that cerebral palsy is not a disease or illness. It isn't contagious and it doesn't get worse. Children who have cerebral palsy will have it all their lives.
