Cerebral Palsy in Iraq.

      Аннотация: Cerebral palsy is a heterogeneous condition associated with a non-progressive lesion causing permanent disorder of movement with limited mobility. It is generally associated with gross motor developmental delay. In moderate to severe cases of cerebral palsy, motor developmental milestones such as walking may never be achieved. Little is known about the pattern of cerebral palsy in Iraq. The aim of this paper is to describe the pattern of cerebral palsy in a sample of Iraqi children observed by a single paediatrician in a tertiary pediatric referral centre.
