Pneumoencephalographic Findings in Various Forms of Cerebral Palsy

Abstract: Pneumoencephalography can be useful in the differential diagnosis and classification of cerebral palsy, in localising the lesions, and in defining the indications for surgery. SUMMARY Pneumoencephalography examination is an important method for the study of cerebral palsy. It to some extent acts as a substitute for pathological observations. By showing the site of the maximal tissue lesion it helps in pathological analysis. It also helps in the differentiation of various forms of the disease and in their clini… Show more

“…Such dilatation might be expected selectively to damage cortico-spinal fibres innervating the legs rather than the arms, and in children with hydrocephalus from any cause spastic paraplegia is the most common form of cerebral palsy encountered. A pneumoencephalographic study in 19 patients with spastic diplegia has shown a slight, mostly asymmetrical, dilatation of the lateral ventricles in five patients; the remaining 14 were normal except that the basal cisterns, especially the pontine, were widened in three (Dittrich et al 1960). An alternative suggestion made to us by Dr. David Clark (Lexington, Kentucky) is that intraventricular haemorrhage might cause a redistribution of blood flow to the cerebral hemispheres such that the cerebral cortex was rendered relatively i sc haem ic.…”
