CT scans were obtained from 27 of the 31 hemiplegic children. The two hemiplegic groups were impaired in non-verbal function compared with controls. The right-hemiplegic group was more impaired in verbal function than the left-hemiplegic group and controls; however, impairments were restricted to the girls in the right-hemiplegic group. The results are discussed in terms of cerebral plasticity and functional reorganisation of cognitive functions after an early unilateral injury. It is argued that girls with left-hemisphere lesions may be more limited in cerebral plasticity than boys.
