The 72.5\% positive findings are correlated with the clinical types, as well as the aetiological basis for the cerebral palsy. The spastic type, 83.3\% of the total number of children, had the highest positive findings. The yield was increased in children with seizures (91.3\%) and those in the postnatal group (90\%), as well as those with birth trauma and neonatal asphyxia (94\%). The findings were those of atrophy in 30.8\%, hydrocephalus, in 10\%, infarct in 11.6\%, porencephaly in 8.3\% and others. The atropic changes and their patterns are explained. Treatable lesions, such as tumour, hydrocephalus, subdural haematoma, porencephaly and hygroma were identified in 22.5\% of cases. It is concluded that CT scan is definitely efficacious in the management of cerebral palsied children.
