The classifications of cerebral palsy were according to type, topography and severity of neuromuscular involvements. The most common etiology in this study was prenatal factor, it was different from some previous studies ten years ago, in which perinatal cause was the majority. In the types of neuromuscular involvements, the spastic type (75.4%) was the major type and the quadriplegic type was the most topography of involvement. The order of severity was sequential as moderate, severe and mild. All these results were similar to previous study. In these cases, 47.2% (94/199) had associated disorders, such as seizure, strabismus, visual impairment, hearing impairment, cleft palate, hyperkinetic syndrome ect. Moreover, twenty cases had two associated disorders and one case even had three associated disorders. Many cases were referred from other departments, especially most cases from the pediatrician. So good communication within each department is very important in the team of pediatric rehabilitation.
