CP is caused by events occurring before, during, or after birth up to age 3 years.6 The etiology is multifactorial. Birth injuries such as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, or head injuries after delivery such as those from car accidents, child abuse, falls, or intracranial hemorrhages, can lead to CP. Illnesses such as meningitis in the first few weeks or months of life, or strokes that occur in the newborn period, may result in cerebral palsy. CP is often, but not always, diagnosed in children with congenital cerebral malformations of microcephaly or hydrocephalus. Perinatal asphyxia, intrapartum hypoxia, prematurity, intrauterine growth retardation, intrauterine infection, antepartum hemorrhage, severe placental abnormalities, and multiple pregnancies can all be associated pathologies.7 Unfortunately, the cause is not always clear.8
