Different Causes of Cerebral Palsy
Modern science can not explain most incidents of cerebral palsy, the statistic approaches 80% where we do not know what caused it. Where we can decipher a cause, the explanation can often be traced to either trauma, metabolic disorders, infection, and the kind which occurs during labor and delivery. Actually only about 5-10% of cases of cerebral palsy occur during labor and delivery and obviously not all of these are a physician's or hospital's fault. Only a select few are caused by medical negligence.

Regardless of what caused cerebral palsy, the disease affects the brain. But the cause will impact which part of the brain is affected. For instance, we know that the results of infection, trauma or lack of oxygen will affect a different part of the brain, and thus influence a different part of the body. Thus if the cerebral palsy was caused by infection, it may affect one side rather than another side of the brain. If it was caused by a lack of oxygen, it normally affects the entire brain, affecting the upper and lower extremities. Cerebral palsy can affect the child in many different ways and sometimes it may not be diagnosed until the child is older. Thus a child can be born with cerebral palsy but the disease is only recognized as the child gets older and the voluntary movements begin to happen. Only then can one measure and realize the full extent of the cerebral palsy.
