RISK FACTORS AND CLINICAL FORMS OF CEREBRAL PALSY - LITERATURE REVIEW
Introduction: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is one of the clinical forms of chronic non-progressive encephalopathy, with unknown prevalence in Brazil, but with 2:1,000 live births in the USA. Objective: To describe the risk factors and clinical forms of CP. Results: As prenatal risk factors, we have genetics and maternal and fetal factors, responsible for restricting fetal development. As perinatal, we have inadequate intrapartum conditions that cause suffering to the baby, causing neuronal injury. As postnatal, we have meningoencephalitis, traumatic brain injury, demyelinating diseases, strokes, epilepsies and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy after cardiac arrest. The spastic form of CP comprises 75% of the cases and, in addition to it, there are also the athetotic, ataxic and flaccid forms. Conclusion: The vast majority of CP risk factors are reversible during pregnancy and childbirth. Decentralized prenatal care and adequate treatment are precordial factors in the detection of these risk conditions.
