No. Cystic fibrosis is a disease in the conduction and regulation of chloride ions across the intra cellular and extra cellular compartment. So in CF, there is an increase in the intracellular accumulation of chloride. This further deposited Chloride ions attract the Na ions since they are basically oppositely charged. And the Na ions are osmotic they tend to pull in the water molecule too. This causes drying of the normally secreting mucous leading to crusting of the mucus and obstruction to the lumen. So cystic fibrosis mainly affects the glands with hollow lumen! Like Bronchi, Pancreatic duct and Intestine [bowels]. So there is no way that CF could be linked to Cerebral Palsy which is more of neurological.
