Perinatal cause that gives insufficient oxygen supply to the baby's brain during the birthing process can lead to brain damage and increase the risk of cerebral palsy is Asphyxia.

Perinatal factors that occur around the time of birth and may include complications during labor and delivery, such as oxygen deprivation, premature birth, low birth weight, or multiple births (e.g., twins or triplets) are known as Perinatal Causes.
Cerebral Palsy is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, posture, and muscle coordination, caused by damage to the developing brain, often before birth.
Muscle stiffness, known as Spasticity, is a common characteristic of cerebral palsy, occurring when there is an imbalance in the signals sent between the brain and the muscles, leading to increased muscle tone.
Cerebral Palsy is a lifelong condition that primarily affects children.
Ataxic Cerebral Palsy is characterized by difficulties in balance and coordination.
Infections during pregnancy can cause inflammation and damage to the baby's brain, leading to Cerebral Palsy.
Spastic Cerebral Palsy is characterized by muscle tightness and occurs when the motor cortex is damaged.
Cerebral Palsy primarily affects both children and adults.
Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy is characterized by uncontrollable movements and occurs when the basal ganglia is damaged.
Cerebral Palsy predominantly affects the Lower limbs.
