Abstract
Summary: The clinical syndromes of 429 cerebral palsied children born in 1959–68 and constituting a representative and unselected Swedish series were analysed with respect to the changing panorama of the various syndromes. The main preliminary finding was a significantly decreased total incidence due to a likewise significantly lowered number of diplegic babies with a birth weight less than 2 500 g.Keywords
