Lim, Lee, Choo, Kim, Bae, and Lee: CT findings in cerebral palsy: An attempt at clinico-radiological correlation

Abstract

CT scans of one hundred-three children with cerebral palsy were analized retrospeotively and correlated with various clinical assessment. Incidence of pathologic CT scans was 71% and most common pathology was brainatrophy(45%). Other pathology consisted of brain anomaly(13%), infarction(11%), hydrocephalus(6%), porencephalic cyst(6%), diffuse periventricular low denstiy(5%) and pathologic calcification(4%). No incidence of pathologic CT findings. Higher incidence of pathologic CT scans could be shown in the group that physical handicap was severe and ethiological factor was prenatal or postnatal and in the patients with seizure.
