Report of Scoliosis and Skull Asymmetry of Cerebral Palsy (the first report)

Abstract

Many severe deformities of skull and spine in cerebral palsy are frequently found out, as many authors have reported.
112 cerebral palsed patients were discussed in this report about the various factors which probably related with these deformities, after we measured skull deformity; plagiocephaly, measured by our radiographic method, spine deformity; scoliosis, with Cobb's method. It was suggested that scoliosis in cerebral palsy was perhaps related with intrauterine duration, type of cerebral palsy and skull deformity.
It was also suggested that the skull deformity was probably effected by the condition of palsy in each individuals and type of cerebral palsy.
