Özet
Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of lesions, which show the hypoxic-ischemic brain damage, their anatomical localization, the timing of the occurrence of the lesions and the causes using the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method.Material and Methods: MRI findings of 150 patient with cerebral palsy (CP) were analyzed. MRI findings, patients' ages, gender, type of birth, birth ages, relationship of parents, additional diseases to CP and clinical type of CP were evaluated. As a control group, 100 healthy children with normal MRI findings of the same age, their gender, types of birth, birth ages, parents relationship and data were compared with the data of children with CPResults: When etiological factors of CP and the control group were compared, male children were found to be more affected than female. In the age groups, children aged 1-5 were determined to have cerebral palsy more than in the other groups. Related with CP ethiogenesis, prematurity and low birth weight play important roles. On the other hand, negative hospital conditions during and after the birth as well as the curative effect of rapidly developing medical technologies on the babies with high mortality, also have important effects on CP ethiogenesis.Discussion: Our results show that there are some similarities and differences between the cerebral palsy group and the controls. It was also determined that the MRI method is important in CP diagnosis. Anatomical localisations of the lesions in the brain support the relevant clinical symptoms and thus play an important role in the differential diagnosis.
