Cerebral palsy: clinico-radiological correlation

ABSTRACT

Twenty one children with spastic cerebral palsy [CP] were examined with cranial CT. In 15 cases [71.4%], the CT findings were abnormal. The most frequent finding was brain atropy [53.3%]. Patients with CP of postnatal anoxia more often had pathological CT lesions than patients with other causes. CT changes were more in patients with epilepsy than in patients without. Cerebral infarction and atrophy were more frequent in patients with hemiplegia than in patients with other type of spastic cp
