Question
question 2 (mandatory) (10 points) cerebral palsy in a premature infant most likely will eventually demonstrate: signs of paraplegia an underlying genetic etiology severe mental retardation signs of quadriplegia
Cerebral palsy in premature infants often results from brain - injury during the vulnerable premature period. Quadriplegia is a common manifestation due to the diffuse nature of brain damage in such cases. Paraplegia is less common as the damage is often more widespread. The cause is usually related to pre - and perinatal events rather than a genetic etiology in most cases of premature - related cerebral palsy. Severe mental retardation is not the most characteristic or most likely outcome compared to motor deficits like quadriplegia.
