An Epidemiological Study of Cerebral Palsy In Western Australia, 1956–1975. III: Postnatal Aetiology

Abstract: SUMMARY Cases of cerebral palsy which apparently were due to some postnatal event were studied in the Western Australian Cerebral Palsy Register. 11 per cent (89) of all cases were thought to be so acquired, a rate of 2. 4 per 10,000 neonatal survivors. Males, particularly under 12 months of age, were especially vulnerable. Infections such as meningitis and encephalitis, particularly among aboriginal children, were responsible for over half the cases and accidents were responsible for one‐quarter. Other causes… Show more

“…Cerebral palsy is also classified as being prenatal, perinatal and postnatal or postneonatal according to the presumed timing of the insult [2,4 -7]. Earlier studies used the definition postnatal cerebral palsy [5,6,8] but later ones, have adopted the term postneonatal cerebral palsy if the damage to the brain took place after the 28th postnatal day [2,7,9]. Two centres participating in the ongoing SPCE study (surveillance of cerebral palsy in Europe), which includes 13 European centres [9] did not register postneonatal cases, and the upper age limit varies from one to seven years.…”

“…Blair and Stanley [5] included children born free of brain damage and who suffered some subsequent potentially brain-damaging event that was unrelated to a perinatal cause and had been recorded before the age of five years. More than half of the 89 cases of postnatal cerebral palsy were due to infections and 43.8% of them were hemiplegic.…”
