The imaging of cerebral palsy on MRI in children
Main Article Content
Abstract
SUMMARY
Objective: Description the image on MRI 3T of cerebral palsy and the correlation between imaging and clinical findings.
Methods: From 01/2015 to 12/2016, 496 patients were diagnosed as cerebral palsy, have been done cerebral MRI in Diagnostic Imaging
service.
Results: 496 patients with age average 6.04 ± 4.08, youngest was under 1 year old and oldest was 15 years old. MRI shows the periventricular leukomalacia (white matter lesion) is the most
popular position in CP which found in hypoxie in prenatal or perinatal, especially postnatal. The patients who had long term - hyperbilirubin have some lesion in the globus palidus and some
basal ganglias. Abnormal formation of the brain, including cortical dysplasia, polymicrogyria, lissencephaly, pachygyria, schizencephaly,
polymicrogyria and agenesis of the corpus callosum, have a significant rate 7.7 %. Normal MRI finding was noticed with 17.14%.
Conclusion: Cerebral MRI is useful tool in confirming the degree of cerebral palsy and provides some correlation between imaging and clinical.
