Abstract
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a multi-aetiological term, including residua of early brain damage as well as certain nonprogressive genetic conditions. However, progressive diseases such as brain tumours, neurometabolic and neurodegenerative disorders have to be excluded. When the perinatal history is severe and acquired brain damage has been documented, the early diagnosis of cerebral palsy is easy. On the other hand, with an unsuspicious history, the diagnosis of CP usually requires prolonged observation based on adequate developmental tests and neurological examinations.
