Cerebral Palsy is the most common form of motor disorder in childhood. The risk factors associated with this disorder are difficult to establish since its etiology is frequently multifactorial. A descriptive study was carried out, with a sample of 152 patients diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, treated in the period from March 2020 to January 2022. To carry out the investigation, the bibliography taken from sites such as Pubmed, Dialnet, and Scielo, among others, was consulted. The medical records of these patients were also reviewed, in order to establish the risk factors associated with the etiology of this condition. They were subjected to expert consultation, which was processed through the application of Compensatory Fuzzy Logic in its neutrosophic extension. This strategic analysis allowed us to know that the highest percentage of cases is located in the Perinatal Period.
