My best friend was born 2 months premature and her oxygen was cut off for several minutes before she was born. The most likely cause is oxygen deprivation just before birth. This does not cause "Brain Damage" in the sense that someone cannot do things for themselves. My friend has a college degree, has married and has a child. She walks, but with a profound limp. Her parents were very intent on raising her to be independant.

The causes of cerebral palsy vary and one of the causes as the previous poster said that lack of oxygen can be one of them. Sometimes it can be caused when the dr is trying to deliver the baby.
All the name means is brain damage at birth although the causes can sometimes come after birth too.
