Abstract
Eighty infants with cerebral palsy including monoplegia, diplegia, quadriplegia, hemiplegia, choreoathetosis, hypotonia with mental retardation and cerebellar ataxia, underwent Computed Cranial Tomography (CCT). Specific morphological anomalies such as ventricular dilatation with or without diverticulum, cortical atrophy, low density areas and calcifications, occur with varying frequency in each clinical groups. There exists a good correlation between the pathogenesis of the lesions, clinical data and CCT pictures.
