Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common conditions we follow in our pediatric neurology offices. This review will hopefully convince you that the care of children with CP extends far beyond the diagnosis. The review addresses issues surrounding diagnosis, coimpairments, prognosis, and family-centeredness of care. It will also deal with routine office follow-up to prevent or identify complications, management of spasticity and other morbidities, alternative and complementary therapies, and finally transition.
