Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorders associated with developmental brain injuries that occur during fetal development, at birth, or shortly after birth. It is characterized by a disruption of motor skills, with symptoms such as spasticity, paralysis or seizures.
Unfortunately, cerebral palsy is not always preventable or predictable. However, misreading fetal monitoring equipment, failing to diagnose fetal distress during labor, waiting too long to perform a Cesarean section (C-section), administering too much Pitocin, or failing to act in a timely manner are often contributing factors that cause cerebral palsy. Those medical errors are unacceptable and could have been prevented.
