The etiological and risk factors are many and an awareness of the interplay of multiple factors in the causation of cerebral palsy is crucial. The aim of the study is to evaluate the risk factors of cerebral palsy in Sulaimani city. A better understanding of the etiology of cerebral palsy is necessary for preventive strategies and treatments to be developed.

There was a significant difference between control and cerebral palsy groups regarding (birth asphyxia, prematurity, pregnancy induced hypertension and jaundice).
