Associated Conditions of Cerebral Palsy: Maturational Delay
Maturational Delay
Children with cerebral palsy may start puberty later, and it may go on for a longer time.  Not getting proper food and nutrients are the primary reasons.  They may also develop early puberty, which occurs before seven in girls and before nine in boys.

Among young men with cerebral palsy, there is a higher incidence of failure of testicular descent into the scrotum (or cryptorchidism) than in the general population.  Some studies have shown that 53 percent of male cerebral palsy sufferers at the age of 21 have this condition.  It is important that a doctor examine young males with cerebral palsy to determine if they are suffering cryptorchidism.
