When cerebral palsy occurs, it is usually due to loss of oxygen to the brain during delivery. Some symptoms include one side of the body being weaker than the other or not as strongly developed. The weak side will typically have the arm held up close to the body with curled fingers. The foot might be curved more inward. Infants with cerebral palsy might also have a smaller head than a normal infant.
