DTI correlates of cognition in term children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
Presently, there is no published study that shows association between cognition and white matter injury in spastic cerebral palsy. We aimed to correlate cognitive functions with diffusion tensor imaging derived metrics in spastic diplegic children. ⋯ These results suggest that these imaging metrics may be used as a biomarker of cognitive functions in term children with spastic diplegia.
