Abstract

A retrospective study was carried on 35 cases with Cerebral Palsy, obtained at random, attended at the Hospital of Clinics of School Medicine of São Paulo University, Campus Ribeirão Preto, from 1982 to 1998, with the scope to verify the aetiologic factors. Among 25 patients with identified aetiology, the Congenital infections (36%) and hypoxic-schemic cerebral lesions (28%) were the major causes. These results could be used for regional strategies of deficiencies prevention. Comments about the cases without aetiology identified points to the need to consider the inherited cerebral palsies and the differential diagnosis with degenerative diseases.
