Tab Text Description and Cause: Cerebral palsy is "an umbrella term for a group of non-progressive, but often changing, motor impairment syndromes secondary to lesions or anomalies of the brain arising in the early stages of its development" (Kuban and Leviton 1994). Congenital cerebral palsy which representes the majority of the cases (90% of cases) may be caused by inadequate blood or oxygen supply to the fetus, illness during pregnancy, premature birth, birth trauma, etc. Acquired cerebral palsy which is less frequent (10% of cases) may be caused in the first few months after birth by head trauma, infections (encephalitis, meningitis, herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus), exposure to toxic substances, severe malnutrition, child abuse, etc. Evidence suggests that cerebral palsy does not result from the hazards of neonatal intensive care, as has been suggested. Occurrence: 1.5 to 2.5:1,000 children by early school age

Tab Text Description and Cause: Epilepsy is defined as a neurological disorder manifested by two or more unprovoked seizures. A seizure is a behavioral alteration due to abnormal and excessive electrical brain activity. A person who has multiple seizures due to fever, trauma, or infection is not considered to be epileptic. Epilepsy may be caused by genetic conditions, head injury, stroke, brain tumor, toxic poisoning or severe infections like meningitis and encephalitis. These causes may occur during the prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal period. In 70% of cases no etiology can be identified.

Occurrence: 1:100 to 1:200 individuals in general population and 1:4 individuals with mental retardation also have epilepsy.
