MRI of Patients with Cerebal Palsy and Nrmal CT Scan Neuroradiology 34:52-56, VanBogaert,P.,et al, 1992 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Three children with clinical evidence of cerebral palsy(CP)and normal cerebral computed tomography(CT)scans were evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)to identify CT-undetectable white matter lesions in the watershed zones of arterial territories.The two patients with spastic diplegia showed bilateral lesions either in the subcortical regions or in the occipital periventricular regions.The patient with congenital hemiplegia exhibited unilateral lesions in the periventricular region.We conclude that MRI is more informative than CT for the evaluation of patients with CP.
