Sequelae of growth failure in appropriate for gestational age, very low-birthweight infants.

abstract：:Of 115 children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy (CP) in the Mersey region, 17 were born at term and at an appropriate weight for age, and have preserved cognitive abilities. 10 of these are likely to have sustained intrapartum asphyxial brain-damage as the cause of their CP. In such circumstances, a characteristic patt...
