Congenital cerebral palsy occurs

Congenital cerebral palsy is a nonprogressive motor disorder caused by a brain injury or malformation that occurs before birth or around the time of birth. When CP is described as congenital, the brain changes are present at birth or occur prenatally, so the condition is evident early rather than arising later in life. It is not something that develops after birth—in adolescence or later—and it is not caused by vaccinations.
