Abstract
Though approximately two thirds of children with hemiplegia are of normal intelligence, the mean IQ of the group is shifted downwards, most markedly for those with the greatest neurological involvement.1 2 Hemiplegias acquired between 1 and 60 months of age may be particularly liable to reduce overall intelligence, perhaps because this is a peak period for synaptic creation and remodelling.2
