We examined 102 children (57 boys and 45 girls), aged 2 to 17 years with various forms of cerebral palsy, who were hospitalized in the psychoneurological hospital named after U.K. Kurbanova. The average age of the examined is 4.7 ± 0.19 years. Risk factors for the development of cerebral palsy can be as separate, isolated factors, or as a combination of several risk factors, such as low weight, prematurity, and the consequences of intrauterine infection. According to our data, when describing the main risk factors for the development of cerebral palsy, up to 35% of cases did not have an accurately established etiology. Gestational age less than 35 weeks is a high risk factor for the development of spastic diplegia and double hemiplegia in the absence of the influence of this symptom on the formation of other forms of the disease and on the increase in the severity of motor disorders. The occurrence of structural brain damage detected by MRI in children with cerebral palsy are complementary in determining their forms leading to the occurrence of various disorders.
