Epilepsy in very preterm infants: neonatal cranial ultrasound reveals a high-risk subcategory.

abstract：:Cerebral palsy (CP) is a complex disorder and children frequently have multiple impairments. Dystonia is a particularly frustrating impairment that interferes with rehabilitation and function and is difficult to treat. Of the available treatments, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as an option with the potentia...
