✦ Synopsis
This study examined the relationship between the extent of CPVL and the associated health impairments. &&Q&:
41 infants with CPVL were followed from term age equivalent for 59 months. Anteroposterior (AP), craniocaudal and mediolateral lesion measurements were made. Developmental outcome and growth data were obtained. Severe impairment (SI) was tri/quadriplegia or growth failure or dysphagia or developmental delay. Mild impairment (MI) was hemi or diplegia or developmental delay. Results: CL= SI (n = 30) 23 (76%) 7 (24%) MI (n = 11) 0 (0%) 11 (100%) Con-:
AP measurement of CPVL. enables prediction of the severity of associated diseases.
