Abstract The term static encephalopathy is a fancy phrase used by neurologists in recent years to refer to chronic nonprogressive brain disorders in children, primarily cerebral palsy and mental retardation.

The book is divided into five major sections: the cerebral palsies and mental retardation, some specific congenital mental retardation syndromes, congenital malformations, acquired causes of static encephalopathy, and static encephalopathies associated with neuromuscular disorders.
