“…Recent data encompassing a total of 1,426 children who underwent either CT [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] or MRI [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] scans indicated an abnormality in 62% to 100% of individuals (mean for CT, 77%; for MRI, 89%) (tables 3a and 4a). For the combined CT and MRI class I studies (n ϭ 238), 88% of children had abnormal scans whereas 77% of patients in a class II study (n ϭ 22) had abnormal scans as did 83% of children in the class III studies (n ϭ 1166).…”

Abstract-Objective:The Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology and the Practice Committee of the Child Neurology Society develop practice parameters as strategies for patient management based on analysis of evidence. For this parameter the authors reviewed available evidence on the assessment of a child suspected of having cerebral palsy (CP), a nonprogressive disorder of posture or movement due to a lesion of the developing brain. Methods: Relevant literature was reviewed, abstracted, and classified. Recommendations were based on a four-tiered scheme of evidence classification. Results: CP is a common problem, occurring in about 2 to 2.5 per 1,000 live births. In order to establish that a brain abnormality exists in children with CP that may, in turn, suggest an etiology and prognosis, neuroimaging is recommended with MRI preferred to CT (Level A). Metabolic and genetic studies should not be routinely obtained in the evaluation of the child with CP (Level B). If the clinical history or findings on neuroimaging do not determine a specific structural abnormality or if there are additional and atypical features in the history or clinical examination, metabolic and genetic testing should be considered (Level C). Detection of a brain malformation in a child with CP warrants consideration of an underlying genetic or metabolic etiology. Because the incidence of cerebral infarction is high in children with hemiplegic CP, diagnostic testing for coagulation disorders should be considered (Level B). However, there is insufficient evidence at present to be precise as to what studies should be ordered. An EEG is not recommended unless there are features suggestive of epilepsy or a specific epileptic syndrome (Level A). Because children with CP may have associated deficits of mental retardation, ophthalmologic and hearing impairments, speech and language disorders, and oral-motor dysfunction, screening for these conditions should be part of the initial assessment (Level A). Conclusions: Neuroimaging results in children with CP are commonly abnormal and may help determine the etiology. Screening for associated conditions is warranted as part of the initial evaluation. NEUROLOGY 2004;62:851-863 Cerebral palsy (CP) can be defined as a disorder of aberrant control of movement and posture, appearing early in life secondary to a CNS lesion or dysfunction that is not the result of a recognized progressive or degenerative brain disease.1 The brain abnormality may occur pre-, peri-, or postnatally. The diagnosis of CP always involves a motor deficit and the usual presenting complaint for which medical evaluation is sought is that the child is not reaching motor milestones at the appropriate chronological age.

“…There is considerable variability in the etiol ogies of CP, and this heterogeneous etiology results in a complex and varied neuropsychological and behavioral clinical presenta tion. Although specific lesion locations are idiopathic, white mat ter tract abnormalities are common (Jaw et ah, 1998;Korzeniewski, Birbeck, DeLano, Potchen, & Paneth, 2008;Kwong, Wong, Fong, Wong, & So, 2004;Yin, Reddihough, Ditchfield, & Collins, 2000), and gray matter damage is less commonly ob served. Sensory and motor abnormalities have been widely exam ined in this population, but there is a relatively small empirical literature that pertains to the neurobehavioral risks associated with CP.…”

Magnetic resonance imaging findings in cerebral palsy

Abstract: In this study sample of children with CP, MRI was useful in revealing underlying brain abnormalities, most of which were due to events in the third trimester or the perinatal period.
