Abstract
Aim of the work
To study motor evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potentials in cerebral palsy and their correlations with the clinical picture and brain pathology as assessed by CT scan.
Conclusion
1- For a long time, the only causal factors explored to account for risk of CP was complication of labor and delivery. However, prenatal factors in considered now as the main cause of cerebral palsy.
2- Periventricular leucomalacia is the main pathology in spastic diplegia leading to periventricular atrophy in CT scans.
3- Motor evoked potentials is affected is spastic diplegia but not related to the clinical motor deficit.
4- Somatosensory evoked potentials are valuable in the examination of infants with spastic diplegia and it is indicated for detection of the severity of motor impairment.
We recommend MEPs & SEPs as a relatively fast and effective means of assessing the functional integrity of the central nervous system in cerebral palsy.
