Ataxic cerebral palsy is one of several subtypes of cerebral palsy. One of the more rare forms of cerebral palsy, ataxic cerebral palsy accounts for no more than ten percent of all cases. Other types of cerebral palsy include spastic, athetoid, and mixed. Like all forms of cerebral palsy, ataxic cerebral palsy is typically caused by an injury to the brain before, during, or shortly after birth.
