What is the only non-progressive disease of the nervous system caused by oxygen levels at birth?

Cerebral Palsy is the only non-progressive disease of the nervous system that can be attributed to abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain, often related to oxygen deprivation during childbirth. This condition affects muscle coordination and movement, as well as potentially impacting other functions such as speech and learning, depending on the severity and areas of the brain affected.

The non-progressive nature of Cerebral Palsy means that, as a person ages, the condition does not worsen. Instead, the symptoms may change or become more apparent as the child grows and encounters new physical challenges. This distinguishes it from conditions like Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson's Disease, which are progressive and lead to a gradual decline in function over time. Similarly, Spinal Bifida is a congenital condition characterized by a defect in the spinal column, and while it can lead to varying degrees of disability, it is not primarily caused by oxygen levels at birth nor is it classified in the same way as Cerebral Palsy.
