[Pathologic changes of the brain in children with various forms of infantile cerebral palsy (computerized-tomographic...

Based on the clinical and computer-aided correlations a study was made of residual alterations in the brain of 110 children. There were 64 boys and 46 girls with different patterns of infantile cerebral paralysis (ICP). 67% of the examined manifested pathologic alterations on the tomograms (atrophy of the brain of varying intensity, areas of low density, cysts, porencephalia, and dysontogenic phenomena). The rate, character and the site of the pathomorphologic alterations slightly varied with different ICP patterns while the gravest alterations were seen on the computerized tomograms during double hemiplegia, in the hemiparesis and atonically astatic patterns of ICP.
