Cerebral palsy is the most common cause of permanent and severe motor impairment in children. It is considered to be a consequence of an immature brain damage or developing brain damage. Etiology in term infants is still mostly unknown, therefore the aim of this research was to present etiology and risk factors in term infants, born and/or treated, from 2002. to 2013. in KBC Rijeka. Medical documentation of children diagnosed with CP was retrospectively analyzed. Data on gestational age, birth weight, APGAR index, etiology and risk factors were used. There were 70 children diagnosed with CP. Based on exclusion criteria, 24 term infants remained. The data is displayed with total number and percentage share. The CP appearance in term infants is 40%. In 29% (n=7) etiology was undetermined and in 70% (n=17) was well known. It was found 35% (n=6) of prenatal etiology, 18% (n=3) of intrapartum and 47% (n=8) of postnatal etiology. Risk factors: in pregnancy (n=4), during delivery (n=7), the combination of two mentioned factors (n=1), without risk factors (n=13). Children with undetermined etiology: risk factors (n=7), without risk factors (n=1). The CP etiology was also analyzed in children who had no risk factors. The appearance of CP in term infants at KBC Rijeka is consistent with the results of other authors. The highest occurrence of postnatal etiology has been obtained, unlike the other authors that suggest prenatal etiology as a leading one. Intrapartum etiology has been found within other authors' results. In children with undetermined etiology, most risk factors have been found during birth, which may indicate to intrapartum etiology, and thus increase the percentage of intrapartum etiology in the overall etiology of CP. Further research on CP etiology in term infants is required.
