Seventy-six per cent patients had spastic cerebral palsy. Hypotonic cerebral palsy was the next common type (14\%). Athetosis and ataxic forms were found to be rare (2\% each). Epilepsy was associated with 56\% patients. Clinical types of seizures observed were: Generalised tonic-clonic (43\%), myoclonic (17.9\%), generalised tonic (10.7\%), partial simple (10.7\%) and partial complex (17.9\%). The incidence of seizures was highest in hypotonic type in which 85.7\% had epilepsy. Mean developmental quotient of cerebral palsy patients was 34.9\% with maximum retardation in hypotonic cerebral palsy (25.14\%). Sixty per cent of patients had abnormal EEG, out of these hypotonic patients had maximum (70\%) chances of EEG abnormality followed by spastic patients (55\%). Developmental retardation was more severe statistically in the patients with abnormal EEG than normal EEG.
