The aim of the study was to compare the frequency and type of sleep disturbances in a group of Malaysian children aged 4 to 18 years with cerebral palsy (CP) with their nearest-age, able-bodied siblings and to identify factors associated with sleep disturbances.
One hundred and forty-one patients with non-traumatic paraplegia were reviewed. The common causative factors and the problems arising were evaluated. Management of the clinical problems were described. The need for prevention and early treatment has been stressed.
