Hi,
There is no cure for cerebral palsy. Therefore, treatment can be given at any age. Treatment depends on symptoms. Physiotherapy is useful in all. Anti-epileptics are needed if there are seizures. Surgery is not mandatory and is needed in selected cases after careful clinical examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
