Congenital hypotonia - what does this mean
Congenital hypotonia is a condition in which a newborn baby has low muscle tone. it is caused by an abnormality in the development of the central nervous system, which can be genetic, or caused by a disruption in development due to environmental factors such as infections, toxins, or trauma. it can also be caused by metabolic or endocrine disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, or other neurological diseases.
What happens during the disease - congenital hypotonia
Congenital hypotonia is caused by a variety of underlying conditions that lead to reduced muscle tone. these conditions can be genetic, such as down syndrome, or caused by a disruption in the development of the nervous system, such as cerebral palsy or a birth injury. in some cases, the cause is unknown and the condition is referred to as idiopathic hypotonia. regardless of the cause, the result is reduced muscle tone that can lead to developmental delays and difficulty with gross motor skills.
