The causes of CNS disorders in children can be varied and multifactorial, including:
- Genetic Mutations - Inherited or spontaneous mutations can lead to neurological abnormalities. - Infections - Prenatal infections like rubella or postnatal infections like bacterial meningitis can damage the nervous system. - Trauma - Physical injuries to the brain or spinal cord can result in long-term CNS disorders. - Perinatal Factors - Complications during birth, such as oxygen deprivation, can cause conditions like cerebral palsy. - Environmental Factors - Exposure to toxins or inadequate nutrition during critical periods of development can impact CNS health.
