The relation between neuroimaging and visual impairment in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: A systematic review

Cerebral palsy (CP) is defined as “a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture due to non-progressive damage in the developing fetal or infant brain” [1]. Motor impairments are the main clinical presentation of CP [1], according to which CP is classified in subtypes, namely spastic (80–93%), dyski netic (3–11%), ataxic (3–6%), or others/mixed (2.6%) [2–4]. Spastic CP is characterised by increased muscle tone, dyskinetic CP by uncontrolled movements, and ataxic CP by poor coordination [1,5,4].
