Data processed descriptively.Results: From total 107 patients, 50 subjects met inclusion criteria. Mean age was 6.16 years old, with domination of male (3:2), live in Surabaya (56%), malnourished (24%), normal birth weight (80.9%), term age of birth (66.7%), spontaneous labor (60%), and also prenatal events as causes of Cerebral Palsy (69.5%). Pneumonia was found to be most among postnatal events leading to Cerebral Palsy (30%). Most of the type was spastic (9:1) with quadriplegic as the dominating one (64%). Congenital malformation was rarely found (38%), but co-morbidities were found in almost all sample (92%).Conclusion: Gestation and birth history of CP patients are mostly ranged normal.
