Study was undertaken in 50 neonate, infants and children with clinical diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy. Results: The majority of patients were delivered term (58%) followed by preterm delivery (42%). The majority of patients had spastic quadriplegia type of cerebral palsy. Periventricular leukomalacia was the most common abnormality found on imaging. Abnormal radiological ndings were observed in 94% cases.
