The term cerebral palsy refers to a range of clinical symptoms, with related service requirements, resulting from lesions or abnormalities in the brain arising early in life. It is not a diagnosis; aetiology and pathology are variable. This article discusses the definition and differential classification of cerebral palsy, describes trends in its frequency over time stratified by associated variables, and briefly reviews the most recent findings concerning its aetiology.
术语“脑瘫”指的是一系列临床症状以及相关的服务需求，这些是由生命早期出现的脑部病变或异常所导致的。它并非一种诊断；病因和病理情况各不相同。本文讨论了脑瘫的定义和鉴别分类，描述了按相关变量分层的随时间推移其发病率的趋势，并简要回顾了有关其病因的最新研究发现。
