ABSTRACT
Determinar la relaci¢n que existe entre las anomal¡as dentomaxilares y par lisis cerebral en ni¤os que acuden al Instituto para el Desarrollo Infantil ARIE. Material y mtodos. Se evaluaron 30 ni¤os de ambos sexos entre 2 y 12 a¤os de edad con diagn¢stico de par lisis cerebral que acudieron al consultorio odontol¢gico del Instituto para el Desarrollo Infantil-ARIE. Resultados. Se encontr¢ la relaci¢n canina clase II en un 50%; la relaci¢n molar clase II fue la m s frecuente (80%). Adem s, la prevalencia de caries dental fue de 76,7%. La mordida abierta y el api¤amiento dentario se encontraron en un 30%. Conclusiones. No se encontr¢ asociaci¢n entre la par lisis cerebral y las anomal¡as dentomaxilares; sin embargo, en la relaci¢n molar clase II del lado derecho e izquierdo, se encontr¢ asociaci¢n significativa a diferencia de todas las variables estudiadas.
To determine the relationship between dento maxillaries anomalies and cerebral palsy in children of 2-12 years old attending to the Institute for Child Development ARIE. Material and methods. 30 children of both sexes were evaluated between 2 and 12 years old with cerebral palsy who attended the dental office of the Institute for Child Development-ARIE. Results. Class II canine relationship by 50% was found and the molar relation class II was the most frequent (80%). Furthermore the prevalence of dental caries was 76, 7%. The open bite and dental crowding were found in 30% respectively. Conclusions. No association between cerebral palsy and dento maxillaries anomalies was found, however, in the Class II molar relationship right and left side, significant association was found unlike all the variables studied.

Se presenta una actualización sobre los factores perinatales y neonatales de riesgo de parálisis cerebral congénita, cuyas causas perinatales no deben ser minimizadas, si se tienen en cuenta los hallazgos de los estudios imaginológicos recientes. De cualquier manera, la contribución relativa de las diferentes causas y factores de riesgo que intervienen en la ocurrencia de parálisis cerebral puede variar en dependencia de condiciones contextuales específicas, pues es ésta un síndrome de etiología múltiple
Present paper is an updating on the perinatal and neonatal risk factors related to the congenital cerebral palsy whose perinatal causes not must to be minimized, if we take into account the recent imaging studies' findings. Anyhow, the relative contribution of the different causes and risk factors involved in the occurrence of cerebral palsy may change depending on the specific contextual conditions, because it is a multiple etiology syndrome

The terms trend and cerebral palsy are defined emphazing the non-diagnostic nature of the cerebral palsy label. Criteria necessary for valid estimation of trends include constant methods of estimating population based numerators and denominators over a number of years, which render them hard to obtain, particularly in developing countries. Trends in cerebral palsy are an important source of aetiological hypotheses for congenital cerebral palsy, provide corroborative evidence for existing hypotheses and may direct strategies to prevent post neonatally acquired cerebral palsy. In developed countries the overall frequency of congenital cerebral palsy has changed little during the last decades. However this masks a dramatic increase in the frequency in the infants born most preterm, a decline in those born moderately preterm and little change in those born at term, but the severity of impairments of those born very preterm is decreasing while for those born at term severity in increasing. These changes may be the result of the increasing ability of perinatal care to rescue very vulnerable infants. There is less agreement in trends of post neonatally acquired cerebral palsy which are more sensitive to social well being.
