|
Neuroimaging of child with cerebral palsy |
Neuroimaging is recommended to both establish an etiology and for prognosticpurposes. MRI is preferred to CT scan and does not expose the child to radiation.
|
|
Metabolic and genetic testing of the child with cerebral palsy |
Metabolic and genetic testing are considered if the clinical historyor findings on neuroimaging do not determine a specific structural abnormality or if there areadditional and atypical features in the history or clinical examination.
|
|
Developmental testing of the child with cerebral palsy? |
