In a period of 1978-1985, a retrospective study of cerebral palsy cases was performed at the Child Neurology Subdivision Department of Child Health School of Medicine, University of Sumatera/Dr. Pirngadi Hospital, Medan. There were 40 cases (1.59\%) out of 2,505 new child neurological cases, consisting of 20 males (50\%) and 20 females (50\%). The youngest was 4 months and the oldest was 7 years and 5 months of age. Thirty two cases (80\%) appeared predominantly with the age less than 3 years. The predominant cause was neonatal asphyxia in 11 cases (27.5\%), the uncertain causes were found 8 cases (20\%). Spastic cerebral palsy was found in 28 cases (70\%) and there were 13 cases (32.5\%) accompanied by microcephaly.
