More about cerebral palsy: Contrary to what many people believe, cerebral palsy is not a disease. It is brain damage caused at around the time of birth or, in some cases, in young children due to head injuries. An estimated 500,000 Americans have cerebral palsy, with at least 4,500 new cases diagnosed annually (and as many as 10,000 according to some reports).
