There is a lack of information concerning the predominance of cerebral palsy among Egyptian children.

They were selected from hospitals and private centers in North Cairo. Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Gross Motor Function measure (GMFM), Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) and Viking Speech Scale (VSS) were used for assessment. Results: the results revealed that boy/ girl ratio was 1.3/1. Spastic CP was the most common type representing 90.3%. Moreover, spastic quadriplegic type represented 54.9% from the total sample. According to GMFCS, level V had the highest percentage while according to MACS and VSS, level IV had the highest percentage. Furthermore there were a significant relation between type of CP and GMFCS, GMFM, MACS, VSS, epilepsy, intellectual impairment and gestational age while there were no significant relations between types of CP and gender, delivery types, parent consangnunity and mother age. Conclusion: Based on the results it could be concluded that, prevalence of CP was more in boys than girls. Spastic CP was the most common type with high incidence of quadriplegia. In addition, hypoxia was the most common risk factor for CP. Furthermore, children with CP encounter varying degrees of gross and fine motor impairments in the light of the findings of GMFM, GMFCS, MACS and VSS
