| Popis: | Introduction: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is one of the most common causes of disability in children. Neuroimaging is useful in determining structural or functional relationships in children with CP. It provides an opportunity to link various CP types to the localisation of the brain maldevelopment or lesion. Aim: To study association of motor function and brain structure on neuroimaging Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in CP children. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from August 2015 to December 2016. A total of 50 diagnosed cases of CP were included after satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria. After detailed history and clinical examination, MRI of brain was advised. All parameters were assessed in terms of Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS), Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) and MRI Grading. Categorical variables were presented as numbers and percentage and association was checked using Chi-square test or Fischer’sexact test. A p-value of |
