Results: The study included 884 children presented with GDD . Brain MRI findings were reported as normal in 328 cases (37.1%) and abnormal findings were seen in 556 cases (62.9 %). the most common abnormalities were Neurometabolic disease 127 cases (14.3%) and isolated Brain atrophy 122 cases (13.8%).
Conclusion: MRI brain is an effective tool in identifying causes of developmental delay children demonstrating the association of brain abnormalities
