Abnormality due to umbilical cord

Question

Asked for Female, 0 Years

Hi , My sister had daughter 30 years back. During that, the umbilical cord got wrapped around the baby's neck and also the doctor did a delay in her delivery . After 7 months, she was still not able to walk and also as years passed, we noticed she is having her maturity a little bit late. Now she is 30 years old but her brain still functions like a kid. She is independent, she can understand everything even the concepts of marriage , she does all her work herself only. We have consulted innumerable doctors but no improvement. My question : is it possible to develop abnormality in a kid just because umbilical cord was wrapped around neck and the delivery was late. Kindly suggest

Yes. Cord around neck sometimes cuts of oxygen to brain causing hypoxia insults resulting in developmental delay.
