Abstract
In our first report we analysed the criteria for defining the term 'cerebral palsy'. In this paper we deal with the problems arising from this terminology and exemplify this by presenting some case reports. It will be shown that the usage of the term 'CP'--misunderstood as a diagnosis--often hinders the correct analysis of the underlying pathogenesis and aetiology. Thus genetic, therapeutic and forensic implications of the underlying disease or lesion are easily over-looked.
