Diameter of the infrarenal abdominal aorta in children with cerebral palsy
The diameters of the infrarenal abdominal aorta by ultrasonography have not yet been reported in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Because the demand for the surgical applications of the abdominal aorta probably increases in the CP population owing to their prolonged life-span, we planned a study to assess the diameter of the infrarenal abdominal aorta by ultrasonography in children with CP and to compare them with those of healthy subjects.
