Hemiparetic cerebral palsy: clinical pattern and imaging in prediction of outcome.

Abstract

In this study, the clinical pattern of HCP and the radiological findings were both predictive of outcome, with absence of cortical pathology on imaging being particularly predictive for the absence of epilepsy. While the clinical pattern, in isolation, appears helpful in predicting outcome, our results suggest that both evaluation tools have important roles to play in the evaluation of HCP patients.
