Of these cases, 354 (65.1\%) were males. Four hundred and ninety seven (91.4\%) cases were of spastic type. Hypotonic, ataxic and athetoid cerebral palsy were observed in 5.5, 1.5 and 1.3\% cases, respectively. There was one case each of tremor and mixed type. In the spastic group, quadriplegia comprised the maximum number of cases (34.9\%). Hemiplegia (28.7\%) and diplegia (21.9) were also common. Mental retardation was found in 47.2\%, while speech impairment was observed in 37\% cases. Other handicaps included visual (9\%), seizures (8.8\%), and auditory handicap (2.9\%). The etiological factors were prenatal in 7.7\% cases, natal in 43.8\% cases and postnatal in 26.1\% cases. More than one etiological factor was observed in 14.5\% cases, while in 7.9\% cases, no apparent cause could be found.
