β¦ Synopsis
Imaging studies, particularly magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, can be extremely helpful in cerebral palsy. Both the cause of insult and the age of the fetus at the time of the insult are important factors in determining the signal intensity and pattern of abnormality detected on MR imaging. As a result, MR studies can provide information regarding both the cause and timing of the cerebral damage or malformation. Additionally, MR studies are capable of determining the extent or severity of cerebral involvement, which can affect prognosis. This article presents imaging findings associated with the most common causes of cerebral palsy.

We reviewed the neuroimaging studies of 40 patients with classic Sotos syndrome. The studies consisted of CT scans only in 4 patients and one or more MRI scans in 36 patients. The diagnosis of Sotos syndrome was made using well-established clinical criteria. The neuroimaging studies of each patient
