The ITQOL is not specific for children with CP and thus some questions in ITQOL seemed to be inappropriate for severely affected CP patients like "My child seems to misbehave more often than other children." Children with extrapyramidal CP had also lower ITQOL scores in the same domains for which poor ITQOL scores were noted for bilateral spastic CP and for all these domains the ITQOL score difference was significant between bilateral and unilateral spastic CP and extrapyramidal CP compared with unilateral spastic CP ( I p i < 0.05). Similarly, spastic CP cases (82.5%) outnumbered extrapyramidal (dyskinetic) CP, bilateral involvement (63%%) was more predominant than unilateral involvement (19.5%) among cases of spastic CP, and predominant white matter injury (46.5%) was the most common neuroimaging abnormality.
